Logging
Moves rolling file logging out of your application, you just write your logging to StdErr, for example:
FileLogger myapp
Files are written with data a sequence number, for example logfile-20170731-01.log
Options
--folder the directory to write files to, default is '.'
--prefix the file prefix to use, default is 'logfile'
--maxlines max number to lines to write to each file, default to 10,000
--inbuffer number of lines to buffer between reader and writer threads, default is 100
--outbuffer size of the output stream buffer, default is 4096
--tee copies the processes StdErr to StdErr
--time outputs the number of lines written per second to StdErr
Performance
My basic tests show FileLogger can write just over 350,000 lines per second to a local SSD (around 40MB per second), but you may like to test it with your own data.
