> Requirements:
>   a) Create a tool support archival of logfiles (from diverse sources) in hadoop's dfs.
>   b) The tool should also support analysis of the logfiles via grep/sort primitives. The tool should allow for fairly generic pattern 'grep's and let users 'sort' the matching lines (from grep) on 'columns' of their choice.
>   E.g. from hadoop logs: Look for all log-lines with 'FATAL' and sort them based on timestamps (column x)  and then on column y (column x, followed by column y).
> Design/Implementation:
>   a) Log Archival
>     Archival of logs from diverse sources can be accomplished using the *distcp* tool (HADOOP-341).
>   
>   b) Log analysis
>     The idea is to enable users of the tool to perform analysis of logs via grep/sort primitives.
>     This can be accomplished via a relatively simple Map-Reduce task where the map does the *grep* for the given pattern via RegexMapper and then the implicit *sort* (reducer) is used with a custom Comparator which performs the user-specified comparision (columns). 
>     The sort/grep specs can be fairly powerful by letting the user of the tool use java's in-built regex patterns (java.util.regex).
