// This design derives from Dave Cheney's blog:
//     http://dave.cheney.net/2015/11/05/lets-talk-about-logging
//
// This is a BETA grade API.  Until there is a significant 2nd implementation,
// I don't really know how it will change.

// Package logr defines abstract interfaces for logging.  Packages can depend on
// these interfaces and callers can implement logging in whatever way is
// appropriate.
//
// Usage
//
// Logging is done using a Logger.  Loggers can have name prefixes and named
// values attached, so that all log messages logged with that Logger have some
// base context associated.
//
// The term "key" is used to refer to the name associated with a particular
// value, to disambiguate it from the general Logger name.
//
// For instance, suppose we're trying to reconcile the state of an object, and
// we want to log that we've made some decision.
//
// With the traditional log package, we might write:
//   log.Printf("decided to set field foo to value %q for object %s/%s",
//       targetValue, object.Namespace, object.Name)
//
// With logr's structured logging, we'd write:
//   // elsewhere in the file, set up the logger to log with the prefix of
//   // "reconcilers", and the named value target-type=Foo, for extra context.
//   log := mainLogger.WithName("reconcilers").WithValues("target-type", "Foo")
//
//   // later on...
//   log.Info("setting foo on object", "value", targetValue, "object", object)
//
// Depending on our logging implementation, we could then make logging decisions
// based on field values (like only logging such events for objects in a certain
// namespace), or copy the structured information into a structured log store.
//
// For logging errors, Logger has a method called Error.  Suppose we wanted to
// log an error while reconciling.  With the traditional log package, we might
// write:
//   log.Errorf("unable to reconcile object %s/%s: %v", object.Namespace, object.Name, err)
//
// With logr, we'd instead write:
//   // assuming the above setup for log
//   log.Error(err, "unable to reconcile object", "object", object)
//
// This functions similarly to:
//   log.Info("unable to reconcile object", "error", err, "object", object)
//
// However, it ensures that a standard key for the error value ("error") is used
// across all error logging.  Furthermore, certain implementations may choose to
// attach additional information (such as stack traces) on calls to Error, so
// it's preferred to use Error to log errors.
//
// Parts of a log line
//
// Each log message from a Logger has four types of context:
// logger name, log verbosity, log message, and the named values.
//
// The Logger name consists of a series of name "segments" added by successive
// calls to WithName.  These name segments will be joined in some way by the
// underlying implementation.  It is strongly recommended that name segments
// contain simple identifiers (letters, digits, and hyphen), and do not contain
// characters that could muddle the log output or confuse the joining operation
// (e.g.  whitespace, commas, periods, slashes, brackets, quotes, etc).
//
// Log verbosity represents how little a log matters.  Level zero, the default,
// matters most.  Increasing levels matter less and less.  Try to avoid lots of
// different verbosity levels, and instead provide useful keys, logger names,
// and log messages for users to filter on.  It's illegal to pass a log level
// below zero.
//
// The log message consists of a constant message attached to the log line.
// This should generally be a simple description of what's occurring, and should
// never be a format string.
//
// Variable information can then be attached using named values (key/value
// pairs).  Keys are arbitrary strings, while values may be any Go value.
//
// Key Naming Conventions
//
// Keys are not strictly required to conform to any specification or regex, but
// it is recommended that they:
//   * be human-readable and meaningful (not auto-generated or simple ordinals)
//   * be constant (not dependent on input data)
//   * contain only printable characters
//   * not contain whitespace or punctuation
//
// These guidelines help ensure that log data is processed properly regardless
// of the log implementation.  For example, log implementations will try to
// output JSON data or will store data for later database (e.g. SQL) queries.
//
// While users are generally free to use key names of their choice, it's
// generally best to avoid using the following keys, as they're frequently used
// by implementations:
//
//   * `"caller"`: the calling information (file/line) of a particular log line.
//   * `"error"`: the underlying error value in the `Error` method.
//   * `"level"`: the log level.
//   * `"logger"`: the name of the associated logger.
//   * `"msg"`: the log message.
//   * `"stacktrace"`: the stack trace associated with a particular log line or
//                     error (often from the `Error` message).
//   * `"ts"`: the timestamp for a log line.
//
// Implementations are encouraged to make use of these keys to represent the
// above concepts, when necessary (for example, in a pure-JSON output form, it
// would be necessary to represent at least message and timestamp as ordinary
// named values).
//
// Implementations may choose to give callers access to the underlying
// logging implementation.  The recommended pattern for this is:
//   // Underlier exposes access to the underlying logging implementation.
//   // Since callers only have a logr.Logger, they have to know which
//   // implementation is in use, so this interface is less of an abstraction
//   // and more of way to test type conversion.
//   type Underlier interface {
//       GetUnderlying() <underlying-type>
//   }
