             Summary: Define org.apache.logging.log4j.Marker.equals(Object) and org.apache.logging.log4j.Marker.hashCode()
                 Key: LOG4J2-1065
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1065
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: API
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Gary Gregory


Define {{org.apache.logging.log4j.Marker.equals(Object)}} and {{org.apache.logging.log4j.Marker.hashCode()}}.

This does not change compatibility since equals and hashCode are defined in {{java.lang.Object}}.

Note that the Log4j class {{org.apache.logging.log4j.MarkerManager.Log4jMarker}} already implements these methods, so there is no change in behavior.

Benefits are:
- Clearly defined these methods.
- Code generation tools like Eclipse can avoid issuing warnings when generating code that use equals and hashCode but the only version of these methods it sees are from {{java.lang.Object}}.
