> Use case:
> 1) I have a thread pool with quite large number of threads (around 100)
> 2) Threads from the pool sometimes process some heavy objects. Threads are not actively writing into logs (so, a thread may process a task and does not log any message).
> 3) As a part of processing for some objects in some non-frequently used branch a thread logged a message with heavy replacement parameters (parameterized log message is used).
> In this case such heavy replacement parameters are not garbage collected until another message will not written within the same thread because thread-local ReusableParameterizedMessage and MutableLogEvent objects keep references to the replacement parameters.
> Is it possible to cleanup such references when a message is released (for example as a part of org.apache.logging.log4j.message.ReusableMessageFactory#release and org.apache.logging.log4j.core.impl.ReusableLogEventFactory#release) to avoid such kind of leaks?
