Comprehensive logging

[seancribbs]

All major operations, especially communications with the Riak host, should be logged with a configurable logger object.

# Should use Rails' logger in the railtie
Riak.logger = Rails.logger

# Allow setting a custom logger
Riak.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

It could default to a 'null' logger.

Is this still outstanding? Would love more comprehensive logging (especially if it included basic benchmarking like ActiveRecord provides).

[seancribbs]

Yes, very outstanding. Something pluggable (e.g. using ActiveSupport::Notifications) might be nice, so you could turn it on or off and instrument.

@ntalbott Also note this is in the "1.1" milestone.

Just want to add a thumbs up for this issue. Right now, debugging errors in the generated Riak queries requires putting debugging lines or puts lines in riak-client, which is a pain.
