> Let's assume that an external process deletes the physical log file while a logger is being used by an application.
> In that case the application and the Logger would not know that the physical file doesn't exist. In memory the outputstream reference will remain active and logger will keep on writing into nowhere. Unless the application or container is redeployed / restarted.
