             Summary: Flume Appender Persistent Manager writer thread dies when Flume cannot connect to any agents
                 Key: LOG4J2-300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-300
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Flume Appender
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta7
            Reporter: Ralph Goers
             Fix For: 2.0-beta8


FlumePeristentManager's WriterThread catches the exception thrown from the Flume RPCClient and then breaks out of the while loop causing the thread to stop. However, it does not mark the thread as shut down so subsequent events will be added to the Berkeley DB database and the key will be added to the internal queue. Eventually the queue will grow and cause an OutOfMemoryError.
