So is that means that we will always have several lines of log data in the <body> tag of chukwa record? Can you please tell me where is that agent code that defines this.
I have read these ChukwaRecord through Map Reduce and can read the original log lines. :) Stuti From: Gerrit Jansen van Vuuren [mailto:gvanvuu...@specificmedia.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 5:53 PM To: chukwa-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: RE: Problem in ChukwaRecord file contents Each chukwa record will contain several lines of log data (depending on how the agent defines lines :) ). You can use the MapReduce Jobs, HDFS or Pig to read these files. You might need to do some coding though. I use pig to read to chukwa files and then to get the original log lines I output the data column (i.e. these original records) using a pig BinStorage. Have a look at com.specificmedia.hadoop.logimport.demux.chukwa.ChukwaArchive() and the other chukwa-core classes. Hope this helps.

I saw that the ChukwaRecord contains Timestamp and some other fields. One of them is the "body" field. However, this body field of each record contains a bunch of lines (from my original log file).

Is this behavior correct? According to my understanding, each record in the ChukwaRecord file should contain only one line from the original log file. Is it possible to create such a ChukwaRecord file? Please suggest.
