While it improves readability by printing every function of the backtrace in a separate line (which is how a backtrace *should* look), it violates the fact that every log in gluster gets logged in a single line. Does anyone see any problem with this? Especially sys-admins who might have scripts/ mechanisms to parse logs? Note that the patch affects only messages logged using gf_log_callingfn() and is avoids eyesore.

It doesn't bother me too much if some changes are required in applying filters, you will need this change if you try to improve readability. Being a developer sometimes I get confused with this log, at least its not readable. I would like to see this change in (I am yet to review it though).

Depends on the log size. Largest logfile I debugged from customers is >20GB. Production logs are generally of the order of GBs. Readability hardly matters when things get to that size. You need to be able to process the logs and get useful information with least amount of work. With the message-id framework we are going towards this will be even more important to have the whole log in same line, so that we can grep using msg-id alone.
