// A log with a tokenized message, a string message, or dropped indicator.  A
// message can be one of three types:
//
//  1. A tokenized log message (recommended for production)
//  2. A non-tokenized log message (good for development)
//  3. A "log missed" tombstone, indicating that some logs were dropped
//
// Size analysis:
//
// For tokenized log messages in the common case; including the proto tag for
// the field (so adding the fields gives the total proto message size):
//
//  - message_tokenized  - 6-12 bytes, depending on # and value of arguments
//  - line_level         - 3 bytes; 4 bytes if line > 2048 (uncommon)
//  - timestamp          - 3 bytes; assuming delta encoding
//  - thread_tokenized   - 3 bytes
//
// Total:
//
//    6-12 bytes - log
//    9-15 bytes - log + level + line
//   12-18 bytes - log + level + line + timestamp
//   15-21 bytes - log + level + line + timestamp + task
//
// An analysis of a project's log token database revealed the following
// distribution of the number of arguments to log messages:
//
//   # args   # messages
//     0         2,700
//     1         2,400
//     2         1,200
//     3+        1,000
//
// Note: The below proto makes some compromises compared to what one might
// expect for a "clean" proto design, in order to shave bytes off of the
// messages. It is critical that the log messages are as small as possible to
// enable storing more logs in limited memory. This is why, for example, there
// is no separate "DroppedLog" type, or a "TokenizedLog" and "StringLog", which
// would add at least 2 extra bytes per message
// Note: Time-related fields will likely support specifying the time as a ratio
// (period) and an absolute time separate from the current delta fields.
message LogEntry {
  // The tokenized log message. Internally, the format has a 32-bit token
  // followed by the arguments for that message. The unformatted log string
  // corresponding to the token in the token database must follow this format:
  //
  //   file|module|message
  //
  // For example:
  //
  //   ../boot/bluetooth.cc|BOOT|Bluetooth is on the fritz; error code: %d
  //
  // Note: The level and flags are not included since level and flags are
  // runtime values and so cannot be tokenized.
  //
  // Size analysis:
  //
  //   tag+wire = 1 byte
  //   size     = 1 byte; payload will almost always be < 127 bytes
  //   payload  = N bytes; typically 4-10 in practice
  //
  // Total: 2 + N ~= 6-12 bytes

  // Packed log level and line number. Structure:
  //
  //   Level: Bottom 3 bits; level = line_level & 0x7
  //   Line: Remaining bits; line = (line_level >> 3)

  // Note: This packing saves two bytes per log message in most cases compared
  // to having line and level separately; and is zero-cost if the log backend
  // omits the line number.

  // Timestamp. Note: The units here are TBD and will likely require a separate
  // mechanism to indicate units. This field is likely to change as we figure
  // out the right strategy for timestamps in Pigweed. This is a variable-sized
  // integer to enable scaling this up to a uint64 later on without impacting
  // the wire format.
  optional int64 timestamp = 5;

  // Time since the last entry. Generally, one of timestamp or this field will
  // be specified. This enables delta encoding when batching entries together.
  //
  // Size analysis for this field including tag and varint:
  //
  //           < 127 ms gap == 127 ms      ==  7 bits == 2 bytes
  //        < 16,000 ms gap ==  16 seconds == 14 bits == 3 bytes
  //     < 2,000,000 ms gap ==  35 minutes == 21 bits == 4 bytes
  //   < 300,000,000 ms gap ==  74 hours   == 28 bits == 5 bytes
  //
  // Log bursts will thus consume just 2 bytes (tag + up to 127ms delta) for
  // the timestamp, which is a good improvement over timestamp in many cases.
  // Note: The units of this field are TBD and will likely require a separate
  // mechanism to indicate units. The calculations above assume milliseconds
  // and may change if the units differ.
