--------------------------------------
I haven't submitted a patch as it should be trivial to fix, but in case that would make things any easier on your end I can provide one.
> Memory issues with ParameterizedMessage
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: LOG4J2-1858

> Project: Log4j 2

> ParameterizedMessage keeps track of a ThreadLocal<StringBuilder> in order to save object creations. However, the reused string builders can only grow over time, which may end up causing memory issues after some large messages have been logged. This is especially true if the application uses a fixed thread pool since the string builders cannot be collected at all.
> One way to address that issue would be to drop the string builder if it grows too large, but I have concerns that this could cause garbage collection issues if this happens too often (since those string builders might not die young). So maybe this class should go back to create the StringBuilder on demand and make sure it always dies young?
> For the record, this problem seems to have been introduced in LOG4J2-1271 / https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=logging-log4j2.git;a=blobdiff;f=log4j-api/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/message/ParameterizedMessage.java;h=d315c1345b5fb72c8d88f5e1aa177011c7376fb9;hp=334e19ba7c188e8ac862863830cf17dca7b7007c;hb=dca586c;hpb=047565e8928b0c9893c25ee92ffdf48dbcd6965c.
