Ceki Gulcu commented on LBCORE-128:
-----------------------------------

I understand. How do you deal with this issue? For example, for compression to work properly, some context is necessary because otherwise compression will be extremely poor.

> This was discussed briefly at http://marc.info/?l=logback-dev&m=124905434331308&w=2 and I forgot to file a ticket about this.
> Currently, RandomFileAppender => FileAppender => WriterAppender is using the following method in WriterAppender to actually write the data:
> protected void writerWrite(String s, boolean flush) throws IOException
> Please add an additional method like
> protected void writerWrite(byte[] bytes, boolean flush) throws IOException
> to write to the underlying stream directly.
> writerWrite(String, boolean) could call that method after performing the transformation internally, making this change transparent for the rest of the implementation.
> Using a binary format for logfiles could have tremendous performance impact as can be seen here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lilith/wiki/SerializationPerformance
