Description

What type of enhancement is this?

Other

What does the enhancement do?

The logging module should support the following functions:

  1. Logging to stderr: If the user doesn't provide the --log-dir, the service should output to stderr(or stdout). When greptimedb is running in an environment that already has a logging collector, it doesn't need to output the logging;
  2. Logging rotation to save disk spaces if output to file;

Implementation challenges

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current logging module in the codebase to understand how logging is configured, then implement support for stderr output when log dir is not provided and add log rotation for file output.
