Rename FastFileAppender
Hi All:
This came up before but recent emails reminds me that we should rename
FastFileAppender
and related classes to better names since "Fast" begs the question: Faster
than what? And: Where is the SlowFileAppender, and MediumSpeedFileAppender
and so on, you get the idea.
I think the name that floated up before is
RandomAccessFileAppender.
(Alternatively but not my 1st choice: RAFAppender, RafAppender.)
Thoughts?
Then both RandomAccessFileAppender and FileAppender co-exist until we
decide to: keep both or pick one as the true FileAppender.
Gary

Re: Rename FastFileAppender

Surely you mean RandomAccessFileAppender?
(The Fast*Appenders have nothing to do with sync/async.)
Re: Rename FastFileAppender

I think it's been long enough, I plan on renaming "Fast*" to "Async*"

Re: Rename FastFileAppender

Being in the dark here, is there any reason to provide a non-fast version?
I only ask because FastDateFormat makes sense in that it is a replacement
for a JDK counterpart. Is the FastFileAppender a replacement too? If not, I
say why not only provide the fast one?

It's faster than FileAppender.

I'd like to know what it's faster than too. The only other "fast" class is Commons Lang FastDateFormat. In their javadoc they say: "FastDateFormat is a fast and thread-safe version of SimpleDateFormat." I think the inference (taking a guess here) is that it's faster than SimpleDateFormat.
I agree with Gary. Unless we have a comparison to something else, I say the "fast" adjective is meaningless.
