> introduce FlushableAppender
> ---------------------------
>
>                 Key: LBCORE-45
>                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-45
>             Project: logback-core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Appender
>    Affects Versions: unspecified
>         Environment: Operating System: Linux
> Platform: PC
>            Reporter: Bruno Navert
>            Assignee: Ceki Gulcu
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Suggest a new sub-interface of Appender:
> public interface FlushableAppender<E> extends Appender<E>, java.io.Flushable
> {
> }
> Then, WriterAppender could be defined to implement FlushableAppender, with this simple implementation:
>     public void flush() throws IOException
>     {
>         writer.flush();
>     }
> This would allow manual flushing of the appenders. This is particularly useful when buffered IO is used, obviously. It allows, for instance, to manually flush all appenders when a request has been fully processed, ensuring that we retain the benefits of buffered IO while also having the full logs after request processing.
> Here's sample code I used to get all appenders (run once after Logback configuration):
>     public static Set<Appender> getAllAppenders()
>     {
>         ContextSelector selector = StaticLoggerBinder.SINGLETON.getContextSelector();
>         LoggerContext loggerContext = selector.getLoggerContext();
>         Map<String, Appender> appenders = newHashMap();
>         // loop through all Loggers
>         for ( Logger logger : loggerContext.getLoggerList() )
>         {
>             // for each logger, loop through all its appenders
>             Iterator iter = logger.iteratorForAppenders();
>             while ( iter.hasNext() )
>             {
>                 // appenders are uniquely identified by name, so store them in the Map thus
>                 // this will overwrite the same entry in the Map many times (with the same reference)
>                 Appender appender = ( Appender ) iter.next();
>                 appenders.put( appender.getName(), appender );
>             }
>         }
>         return newHashSet( appenders.values() );
>     }
> The below bean is used in Spring, calling flush() forces all appenders to be flushed:
> public class LogbackFlushBean implements Flushable
> {
>     protected final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger( getClass() );
>     private final Collection<FlushableAppender> flushableAppenders = newLinkedList();
>     @PostConstruct
>     public void loadFlushableAppenders()
>     {
>         for ( Appender appender : LogbackConfigurer.getAllAppenders() )
>         {
>             if ( appender instanceof FlushableAppender )
>             {
>                 flushableAppenders.add( ( FlushableAppender ) appender );
>             }
>             else
>             {
>                 log.debug( "appender {} is not Flushable, skipping", appender.getName() );
>             }
>         }
>     }
>     public void flush() throws IOException
>     {
>         for ( FlushableAppender appender : flushableAppenders )
>         {
>             log.debug( "flushing appender {}", appender.getName() );
>             appender.flush();
>         }
>     }
> }
