What's the AsyncLoggerConfig thread?

[Mariano Gonzalez <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Could you explain what's the purpose of this thread? It seems to keep on
running when my application is undeployed.

I looked at the code and it seems to be a thread responsible for
dispatching events to Disruptor, but if that's the case then the name may
not be very descriptive IMHO. Can you confirm what's the purpose of this
thread and that it should stop after the logging context receives the
stop() message?

Thanks!

This is the background thread that takes log events out of the disruptor ringbuffer and passes them to their appender(s). So this is where the actual logging (to disk for example) takes place. This is a daemon thread so it should not keep your app alive longer than necessary. 

A call to asynccontext.stop() will ensure the ringbuffer contents are fully processed before returning.
