      This is pretty cryptic and may not be very useful to the end users. Specifically it is not clear:

      • What these numbers signify
      • What's the relative progress

      For instance, if the numbers indicate how many data pages have been processed and if the number of pages to be read is known, it would be much better to have log lines similar to the following:

      2019-04-16T15:22:45.252+1000 I STORAGE  [initandlisten] WiredTiger progress WT_SESSION.verify 19900/20000 pages read
