The danger of using a size based rollover (unless you set the size and log rollover to be fairly high) is that in case of problems, the actual cause of the problem might get rolled off the end by the time you get to it (kafka can be very chatty in some kinds of failure cases). That is probably the biggest reason for a date-rolling log...
On the other hand, the date-rolling can leave a lot of cruft around if you do not have a cleaner process running on a periodic basis... -- Dave DeMaagd ddema...@linkedin.com | 818 262 7958 (vkeylis2...@gmail.com - Mon, Jul 01, 2013 at 11:26:24AM -0700) > Good morning.
