/**
 * Thrown from an appender when a log event could not be written. Appenders should not thrown an exception if an error
 * occurs that does not stop the event from being successfully written. Those types of errors should be logged
 * using the {@link org.apache.logging.log4j.status.StatusLogger}. Appenders should only throw exceptions when an error
 * prevents an event from being written. Appenders must throw an exception in this case so that error-handling
 * features like the {@link FailoverAppender} work properly.
 * 
 * Also note that appenders must provide a way to suppress exceptions when the user desires and abide by
 * that instruction. See {@link org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Appender#ignoreExceptions()}, which is the standard
 * way to do this.
