> DailyRollingFileAppender is known to have synchronization issues and cause data loss. It even claims this in its own documentation
> https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/DailyRollingFileAppender.html
> We shouldn't be referencing such a problematic appender in Samza. Instead, we could reference RollingFileAppender with these settings:
> <appender name="RollingAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
>     <param name="File" value="${samza.log.dir}/${samza.container.name}.log" />
>     <param name="MaxFileSize" value="256MB" />
>     <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="20" />
>     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
>       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c{1} [%p] %m%n" />
>     </layout>
>   </appender>
