support zapcore.BufferedWriteSyncer as an option.

[bb7133]

This PR extends our logging library to support buffered log writing by wrapping the underlying WriteSyncer with zapcore.BufferedWriteSyncer.

Motivation

Previously, logs were written synchronously on every call, which can cause unnecessary I/O overhead under high log volume. With buffering enabled, log entries are accumulated in memory and only flushed to disk:

• Periodically (on a configurable flush interval), or
• When the buffer reaches a specified size.

This reduces the frequency of disk writes and improves performance, while still guaranteeing that logs are eventually persisted.

Implementation

• Update InitLogger() to introduce BufferedWriteSyncer.
• Configurable parameters:
  • Buffer size: maximum number of bytes held in memory before a flush is triggered.
  • Flush interval: maximum duration logs may remain in memory before being flushed.
• We did not add a Close() method for now, because:
  • zap.Logger itself does not expose Close(), only Sync().
  • Our current use cases rely on application-wide or test-level lifecycle management, where calling Sync() at shutdown is sufficient.
  • Introducing Close() would require additional lifecycle handling (e.g. stopping background flush goroutines), which we may revisit if needed in the future.

Testing

• Added unit tests that verify:
  • Logs are not written to disk before flush is triggered.
  • Flush occurs after the configured time interval.
  • Flush occurs immediately once the buffer exceeds the configured size.
  • Log rotation still works correctly when combined with buffered flush.
• Benchmark on my laptop:
