I think this is a good idea and I support it. In todays meeting [1] there
were some questions, and I encourage them to get brought up here. My only
question is in regard to the "tail" of a file we discussed in irc. After
talking about it w/ other trovesters, I think it doesnt make sense to tail
the log for most datstores. I cant imagine finding anything useful in say,
a java, applications last 100 lines (especially if a stack trace was
present). But I dont want to derail, so lets try to focus on the "deliver
to swift" first option.
