Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-6888:
----------------------------------------
One of the key points of the HDFS audit log is to show accesses to files,
including for security purposes. If a user can legitimately use getFileInfo(),
then it needs to get logged.
> Remove audit logging of getFIleInfo()

> The audit logging of getFileInfo() was added in HDFS-3733. Since this is a
> one of the most called method, users have noticed that audit log is now
> filled with this. Since we now have HTTP request logging, this seems
> unnecessary.
