Description

Currently it's only possible to send events one by one with the Log4j appender. (Except if the events are wrapped in an avro record but it's quite cumbersome and might need special handling on the receiving side)

As the Log4j methods can handle any Object I'd suggest to improve the Log4j appender to treat Collection event as a special case and send its content to Flume with one rpcClient.appendBatch() call.
