@mistercrunch, @dpgaspar, et al. would you be able to provide more as what the new fields added to the `logs` are (or will be) used for? The reason I ask is at Airbnb we use a MySQL database and the DDL operations locks the table which is problematic (especially for a large and frequently written to table like the `logs` table). Without planned downtime (possibly significant) the migration will not complete and the application is at risk of becoming inoperable (if/when a lock is obtained). Also did you consider using the `json` column for storing the extra metadata? This could be useful especially if these fields are experimental and no DB migration would be required. cc: @bkyryliuk (unsure if Dropbox uses MySQL). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
