Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-526:
-----------------------------------

Why would numbering records, instead of bytes, make it any easier to recover log file order?  Sorting with the existing numbers should give you the same outcome as sorting with sequential numbers.

> The current sequence number is offset in the data. Suggestion is to accompany sequential number that will be available in ChukwaRecord. The sequence number will help to regenerate log file order whenever needed (many times file does not have timestamp or same timestamp for multiple lines). With sequence number, its also possible to query and manipulate using query language like JAQL
