> Design/Implement a tool to support archival and analysis of logfiles.
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-342
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-342
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
> Fix For: 0.5.0
>
> Attachments: logalyzer.patch, logalyzer2.patch
>
>
> Requirements:
> a) Create a tool support archival of logfiles (from diverse sources) in
> hadoop's dfs.
> b) The tool should also support analysis of the logfiles via grep/sort
> primitives. The tool should allow for fairly generic pattern 'grep's and let
> users 'sort' the matching lines (from grep) on 'columns' of their choice.
> E.g. from hadoop logs: Look for all log-lines with 'FATAL' and sort them
> based on timestamps (column x) and then on column y (column x, followed by
> column y).
> Design/Implementation:
> a) Log Archival
> Archival of logs from diverse sources can be accomplished using the
> *distcp* tool (HADOOP-341).
>
> b) Log analysis
> The idea is to enable users of the tool to perform analysis of logs via
> grep/sort primitives.
> This can be accomplished via a relatively simple Map-Reduce task where
> the map does the *grep* for the given pattern via RegexMapper and then the
> implicit *sort* (reducer) is used with a custom Comparator which performs the
> user-specified comparision (columns).
> The sort/grep specs can be fairly powerful by letting the user of the
> tool use java's in-built regex patterns (java.util.regex).
