             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wal

             Fix For: 0.90.0


We need a tool for looking at wals.  A tail -f would be sweet though it might 
be ugly having to open each time it wants to dump next lot of edits out wal log.

>From Kannan:

{code}20:45 <kannan> WALEdit already has a toString().
20:46 <kannan> And append/sync support allows you to read concurrently a file 
that is being written too... (like JDs replication).
20:46 <kannan> So it would be good if I could do a bin/hbase hlogprint -f 
hdfs://...../.logs/<filename> -v -p
20:46 <kannan> much like the HFile pretty printer... except the HLog one is 
effectively a tail -f.
