How did you ensure processing and reading large log files when creating a script for parsing them?

When processing large log files, it is important not to load the entire file into memory to avoid overflow. Usually, line-by-line reading or block reading is used.

In a script for parsing large logs, you can:

• Use stream reading (for example, BufferedReader in Java or iterators in Python).
• Process data in parts, analyzing or recording results immediately, so as not to store the entire file.
• If necessary, use tools for working with large files, such as split for splitting or specialized libraries.

Example in Java:

try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("large_log.txt"))) {
    String line;
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        // Process each line
        processLine(line);
    }
}
