I think it is a bad idea to log without ordering and later relying on an
external tool to sort it. This is definitely not something I would want
to do while doing test and development or debugging field issues.
Structured logging is definitely useful for gathering statistics and
post-processing to make reports and charts and what not, but from a
debugging point of view, maintaining causality of messages and working
with command line text editors and tools on log files is important IMO.
I had a similar concerns when brick multiplexing feature was developed
where a single log file was used for logging all multiplexed bricks'
logs. So much extra work to weed out messages of 99 processes to read
the log of the 1 process you are interested in.
