-------------------------------------

             Summary: Create infrastructure that supports debugging.
                 Key: ACCUMULO-549
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-549
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Keith Turner
             Fix For: 1.5.0


Before a release an extensive amount of testing is done that usually involves 
running test like continuous ingest and random walk on a cluster for extended 
periods of time.  When bugs are found by these test it can take a lot of time 
to track the issue down sometimes.  Inorder to make tracking these issues down 
easier the write ahead logs are archived.  These walogs archives make it 
possible to answer questions about a tablets history because everything ever 
written to the metadata table is there.  It would be nice to always have this 
capability on an accumulo system, and have it be easy to use.  Spelunking 
around in the write ahead logs is not an easy task.  

It would be nice if accumulo could answer questions like the following. 
 
 * Where has a tablet been assigned
 * What compactions has a tablet done
 * What split or merge created a tablet

These questions can currently be answered with walogs and log4j logs, but its 
painful.
