Re: interesting writeup of some nice engineering

I knew about lossless-compressions with navigation capabilities, but CLP
 is new to me. Thanks for the pointer.

For those interested, I want to add some more context into "binary
serialization" subject:

   - LOG4J2-3023 
   proposes a layout wrapper compressing the output of the delegate
   - LOG4J2-1305  (and
   LOG4J2-836 ) proposes
   a binary layout – AFAIC, there is a proliferation of serialization options
   (Avro, Protocol Buffers, CBOR, CLP, etc.) and this makes any specialized
   solution opinionated. I have my doubts if just picking one is the right way
   forward.
   - OpenHFT Chronicle Logger 
   implements an efficient file appender with built-in binary layout for
   SLF4J, Logback, Log4j 1, Log4j 2, JUL, and JCL.

[log4j] Evolving API

Regarding the ongoing discussions around evolving the Log4j API, people
showed interest in having a video call. I have arranged one for tonight:
