One possibility: an XML document with a grammar that included elements for
each data type used by SMF records, including dates, timestamps, triplet
defined structures, etc. You could then have utilities or XSL style
sheets that generated language specific bindings. Anyone could write a new
binding (record) generator for their favorite language.
Another possibility: add comment meta-tags hints to the existing SMF
DSECTs so that an ADATA processor could get the real type and structure
information.
I like that idea. A simple @uint32 annotation to a comment would solve
the ambiguous syntax of assembler types, like XL4.
Much simpler than having to maintain a separate schema.
Word is that IBM are going to offload mainframe log data for InfoSphere
BigData solutions into hadoop. It will be interesting to see how they do
that, if and when.
