Apache Log4j log记录软件

Log4j是Apache的一个开放源代码项目，通过使用Log4j，我们可以控制日志信息输送的目的地是控制台、文件、GUI组件，甚至是套接口服务器、NT的事件记录器、UNIX Syslog守护进程等；我们也可以控制每一条日志的输出格式；通过定义每一条日志信息的级别，我们能够更加细致地控制日志的生成过程。最令人感兴趣的就是，这些可以通过一个配置文件来灵活地进行配置，而不需要修改应用的代码。

Log4j 2.4 发布，这是第 8 个 GA 版本，包括一些 bug 修复和新特性。此版本最低要求 Java 7。

o LOG4J2-1120: LoggerConfig performance improvements: avoid unnecessary lock acquisition,
use more efficient data structure.
o LOG4J2-1125: PatternLayout performance improvement by caching and reusing a ThreadLocal
StringBuilder.
