    Description

      LOG4J2-1075 included support for bzip2 compression format on file rollover, using the Apache Commons Compress library.

      Gary suggested using org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.CompressorStreamFactory to create a more generic solution that lets log4j users choose from all the compression formats supported by Commons Compress.

      Considerations:

      • Rollover compression to .zip and .gz formats should work without error if the commons-compress jar is not in the classpath.
      • XZ requires XZ for Java.
      • The following documentation needs to be updated:
        • DefaultRolloverStrategy section on the Appenders manual page
        • Runtime dependencies page
        • Core index page (again for the dependency)

      The additional formats are:

      • Deflate
      • Pack200
      • XY

      BZip2 is already supported through Apache Commons Compress and LOG4J2-1075.
