Patrick Hunt commented on HADOOP-8316: -------------------------------------- +1 > Audit logging should be disabled by default > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8316 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > Attachments: hadoop-8316.txt > > > HADOOP-7633 made hdfs, mr and security audit logging on by default (INFO > level) in log4j.properties used for the packages, this then got copied over > to the non-packaging log4j.properties in HADOOP-8216 (which made them > consistent). > Seems like we should keep with the v1.x setting which is disabled (WARNING > level) by default. There's a performance overhead to audit logging, and > HADOOP-7633 provided not rationale (just "We should add the audit logs as > part of default confs") as to why they were enabled for the packages. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
