"Could you say more about why Bump's implementation of network-based queued logging is "hacked-up" while facebook's (by implication) isn't?"

Well, mainly because Scribe was purpose-built to do log aggregation on a large scale, and has nice features to prevent data loss in the event of network and node failure. It's also pretty well-tested at this point, given its origins and community. Check the wiki to which I linked.

I didn't mean my comment to imply anything negative. I was just trying to point out to the parent comment that there's now a better option than rolling a custom log aggregator on top of Redis. That may not have been true when you started your system. Mea culpa.
