             Summary: AbstractConfiguration executor should use a DaemonThreadFactory
                 Key: LOG4J2-1166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1166
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configurators
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: Remko Popma
            Assignee: Remko Popma
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.5


The new WatchManager uses a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor so it can roll over triggered by a timer event instead of a log event.

The executor currently uses the standard thread factory, which creates non-daemon threads. This means that applications that use Log4j 2 and have {{monitorInterval="..."}} in their configuration will never shut down.

The fix is to pass a {{DaemonThreadFactory}} to the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor constructor. (This also allows us to specify a better name than "pool-1-thread-1".)
