[logback-user] logback autoscan is not working intermittently in k8s pod

Thank you Raymond for sharing the inputs so looks like this is a bottleneck
from logback especially with k8s ConfigMap.

Is there any workaround (apart from restarting the java process) to
address this issue ? OR I'll have to wait until it gets fixed from logback
by considering checksum per below suggestion.

Hello Ceki, please share your advice if you have any.

Thanks,
Kedar.
