Niels Basjes commented on PIG-4639:
-----------------------------------
It is quite a bit of code and I am currently adding a few new useful features
(like transparently being able to handle multiple LogFormat specifications and
support for nginx logfiles).
So for now leaving it where it is seems best for the short term.
I'll look into Apache Commons and have a discussion if it can be added there.
> Add better parser for Apache HTTPD access log.

>
> Currently there are two parsers for Apache HTTPD acces log files in piggybank
> that only allow parsing the 'combined' and 'common' logformats. These two
> also only parse the 'basics'.
> This is proposed patch to add the existing
> https://github.com/nielsbasjes/logparser (Apache 2.0 license) as an 'out of
> the box' parser to piggybank.
> This parser parses the logfile using the LogFormat specification used to
> writte it. Almost all LogFormat specifiers are supported and as such adds
> easy parsing capabilities for (almost) all custom logformats used in
> production scenarios.
> This parser also goes much deeper in the sense that it allows extracting
> things like the value of a cookie or the value of a query string parameter.
