Description

Description: Currently the access log is emitting logs at then end of HTTP stream / TCP connection, for a long-live stream / connection this means logger service doesn't get anything until the end. Some incremental logging for long-live connection is desired. https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/7941#discussion_r315269146

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Envoy's access log implementation and the current behavior for long lived connections. Identify where incremental logging could be added, perhaps by emitting logs periodically based on a timer or data activity. Consider the discussion referenced in the issue for more context.
