Another possible implementation is to use sparse blocks: keeping everything before the last X bytes to be sparse blocks. So file will be huge, but only the part we are interested in is saved physically. But I think we don't have RPC that make sparse blocks inside file, not sure though.
BTW, isn't it good to have logrotate[1] translator? Configuration for log files may given as arguments to the translator.
