/**
* AsyncLogger is a logger designed for high throughput and low latency logging.
* It does not perform any I/O in the calling (application) thread, but instead
* hands off the work to another thread as soon as possible. The actual logging
* is performed in the background thread. It uses the LMAX Disruptor library for
* inter-thread communication. (http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/)
*
* To use AsyncLogger, specify the System property
* {@code -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector}
* before you obtain a Logger, and all Loggers returned by LogManager.getLogger
* will be AsyncLoggers.
*
* Note that for performance reasons, this logger does not include source
* location by default. You need to specify {@code includeLocation="true"} in
* the configuration or any %class, %location or %line conversion patterns in
* your log4j.xml configuration will produce either a "?" character or no output
* at all.
*
* For best performance, use AsyncLogger with the RandomAccessFileAppender or
* RollingRandomAccessFileAppender, with immediateFlush=false. These appenders
* have built-in support for the batching mechanism used by the Disruptor
* library, and they will flush to disk at the end of each batch. This means
* that even with immediateFlush=false, there will never be any items left in
* the buffer; all log events will all be written to disk in a very efficient
* manner.
