41   * Asynchronous Logger object that is created via configuration and can be
42   * combined with synchronous loggers.
43   * <p>
44   * AsyncLoggerConfig is a logger designed for high throughput and low latency
45   * logging. It does not perform any I/O in the calling (application) thread, but
46   * instead hands off the work to another thread as soon as possible. The actual
47   * logging is performed in the background thread. It uses the LMAX Disruptor
48   * library for inter-thread communication. (<a
49   * href="http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/"
50   * >http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/</a>)
51   * <p>
52   * To use AsyncLoggerConfig, specify {@code <asyncLogger>} or
53   * {@code <asyncRoot>} in configuration.
54   * <p>
55   * Note that for performance reasons, this logger does not include source
56   * location by default. You need to specify {@code includeLocation="true"} in
57   * the configuration or any %class, %location or %line conversion patterns in
58   * your log4j.xml configuration will produce either a "?" character or no output
59   * at all.
60   * <p>
61   * For best performance, use AsyncLoggerConfig with the RandomAccessFileAppender or
62   * RollingRandomAccessFileAppender, with immediateFlush=false. These appenders have
63   * built-in support for the batching mechanism used by the Disruptor library,
64   * and they will flush to disk at the end of each batch. This means that even
65   * with immediateFlush=false, there will never be any items left in the buffer;
66   * all log events will all be written to disk in a very efficient manner.
