Joe Stein commented on KAFKA-1122: ---------------------------------- You are both right, is there some type of patch we could introduce to toggle for both use cases? Perhaps in Logging do some parsing that would output multi line when some default configuration is overridden? Or better yet we have a tool or known command using awk in it to to use when tailing the log? > Kafka can log giant log lines > ----------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1122 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1122 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Jason Rosenberg > Priority: Minor > > There are a number of log lines that the kafka server, and high-level > consumer, can log, that can end up becoming a giant log line. This can be > cumbersome to deal with in a log file. > This happens in my case as I have have a large number of topics (on the order > of 500-700 topics). Typically, these giant log lines will say something > separately about every topic on the broker. An example: > 2013-11-04 23:28:11,148 INFO [kafka-request-handler-0] server.ReplicaManager > - [Replica Manager on Broker 10]: Handling LeaderAndIsr request > Name:LeaderAndIsrRequest;Version:0;Controller:11;ControllerEpoch:220;CorrelationId:5;ClientId:id_11-host_null-port_27330;PartitionState:(mytopic,0) > -> > (LeaderAndIsrInfo:(Leader:11,ISR:11,LeaderEpoch:43,ControllerEpoch:219),ReplicationFactor:2),..... > Imagine that line going on with a separate entry for 700 topics. There are > many other examples of this phenomenon in the server, and high-level consumer. > I'd think these log lines could be separated into a single line per topic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
