log4j socket server: save log events from each client to a separate file

Issue

An application can run on multiple hosts and if we want to collect the logs from all clients we can use log4j's socket appender.

Log4j has implemented SimpleSocketServer which calls SocketNode which collects all events from all clients to a single log file so it's difficult to identify them.

Goal

Out goal is to collect events from each client to a separate log file with file name xxx-{client}.log where {client} is the client address.

• 对于绝大部分人，"的使用频率远大于'。
• 对于开发人员，Esc键的使用频率远大于Caps Lock键。
• 对于Java系/JavaScript系/C系/C#/Go等程序员，{/}的使用频率要明显大于[/]。

解决方案

Optimize Keyboard Layout for Developers

Design

For most people, " is much more frequently used than '.
For most developers,Esc is much more frequently used than Caps Lock.
For programmers of Java/JavaScript/C/C++/C# etc, {/} is more frequently used than [/].

So it's not bad to swap them.

Configuration

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.
