Rajini Sivaram updated KAFKA-7237:
----------------------------------
Description:
We currently use FATAL markers for fatal error messages in core. But only
logback supports markers out-of-the-box and log4j simply logs these as ERROR
messages, ignoring the marker. We should perhaps include a String marker within
these messages to make it easier to identify fatal messages in logs.
>From https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html:

While markers are part of the SLF4J API, only logback supports markers off the
shelf. For example, if you add the {{%marker}}conversion word to its pattern,
logback's {{PatternLayout}} will add marker data to its output. Marker data can
be used to [filter messages|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html] or even
[trigger|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#OnMarkerEvaluator] an
outgoing email [at the end of an individual
transaction|http://logback.qos.ch/recipes/emailPerTransaction.html].
In combination with logging frameworks such as log4j and java.util.logging
which do not support markers, marker data will be silently ignored.
