Ramachandran Krishnan updated RANGER-5710:
------------------------------------------
    Description: 
The {{ClassCastException}} on multi-value {{requestUser}} occurred because 
installs fell through to the deprecated *DB audit path* when 
{{ranger.audit.source.type}} was unset or misconfigured:
 # {{RangerBizUtil}} defaulted to {{AUDIT_STORE_RDBMS}} when the property was 
missing
 # Docker Postgres {{install.properties}} had {{audit_store=opensearch}} active 
while Solr URLs were commented out

  was:
Access Audit UI search fails when the Users filter contains more than one value 
(e.g. {{admin}} and {{{}hive{}}}). 
Ranger Admin returns an error and {{catalina.out}} shows:
 
{code:java}
 java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to 
java.lang.String   at 
org.apache.ranger.common.SearchUtil.buildWhereClause(SearchUtil.java:513)   at 
org.apache.ranger.service.XAccessAuditService ... {code}


h3. Root cause

{{AssetREST.getAccessLogs()}} has used {{extractStringList()}} for the Users 
filter since RANGER-2394 (2019). Repeated query params 
({{{}requestUser=admin&requestUser=hive{}}}) are stored in 
{{SearchCriteria.paramList}} as an {{{}ArrayList{}}}.

On the Solr audit path, {{AccessAuditsService}} already declares 
{{requestUser}} as {{{}STR_LIST{}}}, so multi-value filters work.

On the DB audit path, {{XAccessAuditService}} still declared {{requestUser}} as 
{{{}DATA_TYPE.STRING{}}}. {{SearchUtil.buildWhereClause()}} casts the param to 
{{{}String{}}}, which fails when the value is a list.
