Task given to the agent:

TASK: Structured Log Processor

Write a program that parses, queries, transforms, and aggregates structured log data in JSON Lines format, supporting filtering, field extraction, statistical aggregation, and output formatting.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a log file path as a command-line argument (JSON Lines format: one JSON object per line)
- Support filtering log entries via --where flag with field comparisons (e.g., --where "level==ERROR" or --where "response_time>500" or --where "status!=200")
- Support multiple filters combined with AND logic; support OR logic via --or flag
- Support field selection via --fields flag (comma-separated list of field names to include in output)
- Support aggregation operations via --group-by and --aggregate flags: count, sum, avg, min, max, and percentile(N) grouped by a specified field (e.g., --group-by status --aggregate "count,avg:response_time")
- Support time-based aggregation: group by time windows (--time-window flag: 1m, 5m, 1h, 1d) on a specified timestamp field (--time-field flag)
- Support sorting via --sort flag (field name with optional :asc or :desc suffix)
- Support limiting output via --limit flag and skipping via --offset flag
- Support output in multiple formats via --format flag: json (default), csv, table (formatted console table), and jsonl (JSON Lines)
- Compute and display summary statistics for numeric fields: count, min, max, mean, median, p95, p99
- Support extracting unique values of a field via --distinct flag
- Print results to console by default
- Save results to a file via --output flag
- If no input file is given, generate a sample web server access log with 1000 entries containing fields (timestamp, method, path, status, response_time, user_agent, ip), then demonstrate: filtering ERROR entries, computing average response time grouped by HTTP method, finding the top 10 slowest requests, and computing hourly request counts
- Handle errors: malformed JSON lines (skip with warning and count), missing fields in filter expressions, type mismatches in comparisons, and very large files

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Structured Log Processor (Java - Trial 1)

## Description
Parses, queries, and aggregates JSON Lines log files with support for filtering,
field selection, and time-based aggregation. Built with Jackson for JSON parsing
and Picocli for CLI argument handling.

## Dependencies
- **jackson-databind**: High-performance JSON parsing and tree model traversal
- **picocli**: Annotation-based CLI framework with subcommand support

## Usage

### Build
```bash
mvn clean package
```

### Query logs with filters
```bash
java -jar target/structured-log-processor-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar query access.jsonl -f "level==ERROR" -s "timestamp,message" --pretty
```

### Count by field
```bash
java -jar target/structured-log-processor-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar count-by access.jsonl level
```

### Numeric statistics
```bash
java -jar target/structured-log-processor-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar stats access.jsonl response_time
```

### Time series aggregation
```bash
java -jar target/structured-log-processor-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar timeseries access.jsonl timestamp -i hour
```

### Top N values
```bash
java -jar target/structured-log-processor-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar top access.jsonl status_code -n 5
```

## Input Format
Expects JSON Lines format (one JSON object per line):
```json
{"timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "level": "INFO", "message": "Request processed", "response_time": 42}
