java - FOSS LIB not HOW TODO: OutputStream that auto rolls when file gets too big or hour/day et change -

id outputstream performs many of functions found in rollingxxxappender classes in log4j.

are there foss libraries support sort of smarts simple outputstream. id rather code not aware of rolling process , not require hints when roll ? ideally rolling control helpers passed factory , hidden deep inside abstraction.

sample use case

1. closing -> file.txt
2. renaming original backup -> file.txt -> file.001
3. recreating empty file , continue writing -> file.txt

this sort of functionality works best system requires creation of large files such logging.

potentional problems

• it should have smarts , not roll in middle of line write. best solution have roll tests performed before/after write rather in middle.

re: tips on how write own..

i dont want write own, know how - why mentioned rollingxxxappender. rather leverage effort of preexisting library.

i think can implement extending fileoutputstream. 1 thing bear in mind, though, approach makes sense if willing keep file open -instead of opening , closing in each write ; in turn makes sense if writing log file centralized.
