Abhishek Sharma commented on KAFKA-1590:
----------------------------------------

[~jkreps] - 
I am using Debian Linux and for Linux / Unix family, I surely suggest Midnight 
Commander tool for reading and writing binary files. 
IN case of MAC, I think any alternative tool of MC will work. HexEdit is 
another option that I googled out, haven't worked on it but I am sure it 
supports.
In Case of Windows, I think Total Commander will work.

[~guozhang] & [~nehanarkhede] - I am sure, you people have some other tool / 
utility programs names to suggest. Please suggest.

> With trace level logging, the request handling logs can grow very fast 
> depending on the client behavior (e.g. consumer with 0 maxWait and hence keep 
> sending fetch requests). Previously we have changed it to debug level which 
> only provides a summary of the requests, omitting request details. However 
> this does not work perfectly since summaries are not sufficient for 
> trouble-shooting, and turning on trace level upon issues will be too late.
> The proposed solution here, is to default to debug level logging with trace 
> level logging printed as binary format at the same time. The generated binary 
> files can then be further compressed / rolled out. When needed, we will then 
> decompress / parse the trace logs into texts.
