[ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-128?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.i... ] Maarten Bosteels commented on LBCORE-128: ----------------------------------------- I think adding a separate setOutputStream method to the Encoder interface is a good idea. It defines the contract much better than my initial proposal. {quote}The more I think of it the more I am tempted to merge the concept of a layout into an encoder. After all a Layout is an encoder which encodes events in text.{quote} I would keep the Layout interface. It has a very simple contract, but different from the Encoder contract. It's just like the difference between java.io.OutputStream and java.io.Writer : one for writing character streams and one for writing bytes.
Please support implementation of binary log files in RollingFileAppender/FileAppender -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-128 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-128 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Improvement Components: Appender Affects Versions: 0.9.17 Reporter: Joern Huxhorn Assignee: Ceki Gulcu
This was discussed briefly at http://marc.info/?l=logback-dev&m=124905434331308&w=2 and I forgot to file a ticket about this. Currently, RandomFileAppender => FileAppender => WriterAppender is using the following method in WriterAppender to actually write the data: protected void writerWrite(String s, boolean flush) throws IOException Please add an additional method like protected void writerWrite(byte[] bytes, boolean flush) throws IOException to write to the underlying stream directly. writerWrite(String, boolean) could call that method after performing the transformation internally, making this change transparent for the rest of the implementation. Using a binary format for logfiles could have tremendous performance impact as can be seen here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lilith/wiki/SerializationPerformance
