Comment (by karsten):
Random thought: these logs can be really huge and also quite repetitive.
Maybe we can try to save a bit of memory by trying out a few things when
parsing them. Ideas:
1. Store indexes into the raw descriptor string rather than copies of
strings.
2. Alternatively, only store fields that have changed compared to the
previous line. If a field has not changed, store a reference to the first
line that contains the same field contents. This makes use of the fact
that lines are sorted.
3. Maybe don't even store the raw descriptor string and instead throw an
exception when it gets called. Only do this if 2 requires a lot less
memory than 1 above.
