I would be happier to see either avro or protobuf used. But definitely +1 for something that's consumable by non-Java programs and won't need to be actively upgraded when we add or remove fields. > Structured event log for HBase for monitoring and auto-tuning performance > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5262 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mikhail Bautin > > Creating this JIRA to open a discussion about a structured (machine-readable) log that will record events such as compaction start/end times, compaction input/output files, their sizes, the same for flushes, etc. This can be stored e.g. in a new system table in HBase itself. The data from this log can then be analyzed and used to optimize compactions at run time, or otherwise auto-tune HBase configuration to reduce the number of knobs the user has to configure. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
