Overview: - Scribe aggregates logged messages from every type of server application for Facebook. - It has a simple design in that it takes 2 string arguments: category and message. - There are no predefined categories; new logs are created with new categories. - Servers are arranged as a digraph with 1 outbound and 1 inbound edge. - To compensate for network and hardware failure messages are spooled to disk to be distributed when things are working again. - Uses thrift to accept log data from all different applications/languages.
