When using the ray logger only the driver logs get the formatting. Upon inspection of the code I saw this was intentional i’m just wondering why?

According to the comment here:

It is because this mechanism doesn’t go well with how we stream logs to the driver

Besides, we didn’t enable this “fancy logging” thing yet, so practically there’s no impact.
