Description

I have noticed that OutputStreamManager#flushBuffer does not clear the buffer if #writeToDestination throws an exception. This does not lead to data corruption, but in case of a #flush call when the buffer isn't full (which can happen at the end of a batch when e.g. using AsyncLogger), it will mean that only partial capacity of the buffer will be available until the next successful flush.
