Agreed. Scala has a notion of non fatal exceptions which basically matches

Good catch, I recall a similar bug using fully asynchronous logging when the
exception handler threw an error:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2333
While it's generally not considered good practice to "handle" errors, in this
case it's far better than not logging! I've seen this ma
Hello,
While logging, we sometimes notice that the entire logging infra comes to a
halt, even though the rest of the application still works perfectly fine. I
have figured, appenders wrapped by AsyncAppender can throw a
