[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-2162) KafkaAppender fails application startup when bootstrap server are not available

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16309998#comment-16309998 ]

--------------------------------------

We need the same kind of reconnect logic the JMS Appender uses here. I am likely to need this soon as well...
