[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-311) Allow KafkaLog4jAppender to take in a configurable producer.type

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-311?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13417299#comment-13417299 ] 

Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-311:
-------------------------------------

Thanks for the patch ! Would it make sense to default to async since the throughput requirement for log4j messages is typically on the higher side ?

> The kafka log4j in trunk uses only SyncProducer, which means it will get lower throughput than AsyncProducer.
> Change KafkaLog4jAppender to take in the producer.type config and be able to pick either the sync or the async producers.
