Add support for additional log formats #322

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Why is this enhancement useful?
Currently ShiViz can only parse logs strictly in the format generated by 
ShiVector, in which each log event is a single log line followed by a timestamp 
line structured as follows:
_localHostId_ { "_host1_" : _time1_, "_host2_" : _time2_, ..., "_hostN_" : 
_timeN_ }

An example of this format is:
{{{
24.22.130.14 5/27/2013 10:56:22 AM GET /timeline uid=alice location=kansas
alice {"alice":5, "loadBalancer": 4, "eastDC":8, "westDC": 3}
}}}

However, ShiViz would be capable of visualizing any log containing vector clock 
partial orderings given an improved log parser and log parsing options.

What is an example use case for this enhancement?
Logs that contain vector clocks generated without ShiVector could be visualized 
with ShiViz.
