War on Orange meeting, September 22, 2010

Parsing:

• logparser lives here: http://hg.mozilla.org/automation/logparser
  • THIS DOESN'T WORK! its a straight port from topfails (which is to say it works but is inadequate and there are also bugs on it)
• should be done to jython standards for hadoop

Storage:

• files in filesystem mirror that from the ftp site
• (raw) log -> parser -> flume (sp?) -> hdfs
• block size: 128M
  • does this make looking through files slow?

What do we want?

• we have a (proposed) schema
• we have a (proposed) REST interface
• (we should put this on a wiki page and move towards finalization)

Process:

• we give python script (e.g. logparser)
• invoked on every log file
• output == what we want
