<div class="block">Policy for deciding whether to discard the event, enqueue it or log the event on the current thread when the queue
is full.
<p>
The asynchronous logging queue may become full when the application is logging faster than the underlying appender
can keep up with for a long enough time to fill up the bounded queue. When this happens, the logging subsystem has to
choose what to do with the event:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Enqueue the event. This will block until the background thread removes a log event from the queue and space for
new events becomes available in the queue. There is a risk of causing deadlock here when the new logging call was
made while processing another logging call, for example when Log4j calls <code>toString()</code> on a message
parameter, and the parameter object makes a logging call from its <code>toString()</code> method.</li>
<li>Bypass the queue and send the event directly to the underlying appenders. This is the default policy used by
Log4j since 2.7: see <a href="DefaultAsyncQueueFullPolicy.html" title="class in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async"><code>DefaultAsyncQueueFullPolicy</code></a>. The benefit of this approach is that
events will not get lost, but the disadvantage is that the resulting log file will be confusing for users,
since log events will appear in the log file in random order: new events that are directly logged are followed
by older log events taken from the queue.</li>
<li>Discard the event. Log4j offers a variation of this policy where log events that are more verbose than
a certain threshold are discarded, and other events are sent to the underlying appenders.
See <a href="DiscardingAsyncQueueFullPolicy.html" title="class in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async"><code>DiscardingAsyncQueueFullPolicy</code></a> for details.</li>
</ul>
<p>
See <a href="AsyncQueueFullPolicyFactory.html" title="class in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async"><code>AsyncQueueFullPolicyFactory</code></a> for how to install a custom policy.
