Well, it depends on whether you're designing a distributed system or not, what kind of sharding scheme you use if any etc.
> distributed
You keep on using that word... but seriously, thanks for the non-answer, now I can be confident you don't know what you're talking about.

"now I can be confident you don't know what you're talking about."
I guess your original comment made clear that you weren't really interested in an answer beyond dealing with "unstated assumption" and that you want to persist in thinking of logging from a centralized point of view. You just wanted to be "confident".
But if you're seriously interested in discussing further to see what I'm working on, feel free to drop me an email on [email protected] and we can setup a Skype face-to-face.
Perhaps there was an unstated assumption on your part, but how are my app servers to know which one handles which query? Is there some sort of log coherence system going on? Are you running Hadoop on your app servers?
