-----------------------------------

             Summary: Increase default queue size for AsyncAppender
                 Key: LOG4J2-2048
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2048
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
            Reporter: Remko Popma
            Assignee: Remko Popma
             Fix For: 2.9.1


 LOG4J2-2031 highlighted that the default queue size (128) for AsyncAppender is extremely small compared to the async logger defaults.

Even small event bursts will likely fill up the queue and cause messages to appear in the log file out of order. Until LOG4J2-2031 is fixed, a larger queue size will make this less likely to happen.

Better recursion detection (see LOG4J2-2031) will fix the out-of-sequence messages. From that point, when the queue is full the logging call will block until a slot in the queue becomes available, so the only impact of a small queue is performance. From a performance perspective it is also desirable to have a default queue size of something like 1K slots to handle moderate-size bursts of events smoothly.
