Description

Currently the fql log format uses Cassandra serialization within the message, which means that reading the file also requires Cassandra classes. To make it easier for outside tools to read the fql logs we should enhance the fqltool to be able to dump the logs to a file format using thrift or protobuf.

Additionally we should support exporting the original query with a deterministic version allowing tools to have reproducible and comparable results.
