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. > Binarize trace level request logging along with debug level text logging > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1590 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1590 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Assignee: Abhishek Sharma > Labels: newbie > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: Jira-1590-Log4j Binary Appender.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
