stack commented on HBASE-5238:
------------------------------
LGTM except the toJSON part. Is that going to dump data in logs? In the past
dumping out the mutations was undone because could reveal sensitive info.
> Add a log4j category for all edits to META/ROOT

> Occasionally we run into bugs that have corrected META and written some bad
> data to META/ROOT but it's difficult to understand the order in which things
> happened. One option is to dump the HLog contents from the servers that
> hosted META at that time, but then it's interspersed with all other data. It
> would be nice to add a Log4j Logger to which we log all edits being applied
> to META and ROOT in textual form at DEBUG level. Then it would be easier to
> do a cluster-wide log grep to see what happened when.
