Benchmark for Logging With Zap

Logger Types

Discarded Logger

Sends all the writes to ioutil.Discard

Sampled Logger

Creates a zap core that samples incoming N (here is 10) entries, with a given level and message each tick. If more Entries with the same level and message are seen during the same interval, every Mth message is logged and the rest are dropped.

Writer Logger

Sneds all the writes to a writer (stderr) without sampling.

WriterSampler

Writer Logger with a sampler.
