[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1296) Add MessageFactory that reuses a cached Message instance

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15184965#comment-15184965 ]

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

This problem has now been addressed.
* LogEventProxy (the snapshot of the LogEvent taken by AsyncAppender) now makes a copy of the Message if the Message is reusable
* AsyncLoggerConfig now calls Log4jLogEvent.makeMessageImmutable() before passing the LogEvent to another thread
* RingbufferLogEvent.createMemento() now makes a copy of the Message if the Message is reusable
* SmtpAppender stores LogEvents in a buffer; before doing so it should call Log4jLogEvent.makeMessageImmutable()

> As discussed in LOG4J2-1270, all current MessageFactory implementations create new temporary Message objects. A GC-free configuration needs a different MessageFactory that reuses Message instances.
> When Messages are being reused, async logging components need to be aware of this and ensure the Message _content_  (rather than the Message instance itself) is passed to the background thread. However, Messages that are not reusable should be passed to the background thread unchanged.
