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

             Summary: Improve how logging collects class name information
                 Key: SOLR-11901
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11901
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
            Reporter: Varun Thacker


The log4j.properties that we ship with Solr has this Pattern
{code}
%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p (%t) [%X{collection} %X{shard} %X{replica} %X{core}] %c{1.} %m%n
{code}

The {{%c}} collects class name information ( more on this http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/async.html#Location ) which creates a throwable ( https://github.com/apache/log4j/blob/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/log4j/spi/LoggingEvent.java#L253 ) and it can be expensive

Here is the stack trace excerpt from the JFR capture which lead to this issue
{code}
org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent.getLocationInformation()
org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternParser$ClassNamePatternConverter.getFullyQualifiedName(LoggingEvent)
org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternParser$NamedPatternConverter.convert(LoggingEvent)
org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternConverter.format(StringBuffer, LoggingEvent)
org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout.format(LoggingEvent)
org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender.subAppend(LoggingEvent)
org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender.subAppend(LoggingEvent)
...
org.apache.solr.update.processor.LogUpdateProcessorFactory$LogUpdateProcessor.finish()	214,658	32.42	0
{code}


We could remove capturing the class name information from the default config but ideally capturing the classname is useful. So if we can find a way that doesn't need to create a throwable then it's ideal.
