The Logging api only allows you to log a single event at a time so it doesn’t make sense for an appender to have a method that accepts multiple events since it can’t happen. That said, appenders can queue the events and send them downstream in batches. I believe some of the appenders do that now.
Is there some use case I am not aware of where this method could be called?
