A well-designed, well-implemented binary log format? Quite possibly so.

Let's create a logging daemon that creates Apache Parquet files, for instance. Or at least uses a well-established, well-tested binary row format, with existing tools capable of easily unpacking it and working with it.

Maybe journald has a good enough API to stick to it. I hope it's going to be replaced with a saner implementation of that API, like Pipewire did with Pulse Audio.



The format is documented: https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_FILE_FORMAT/

What issues do you have with it?
