Vinayakumar B commented on HDFS-9395:
-------------------------------------

Thanks [~kshukla] for the updated patch.

1. Following can be moved out of finally block.
{code}      logAuditEvent(success, "setErasureCodingPolicy", srcArg, null,
          resultingStat);
          {code}


2. Not related to patch, but can be included, {{if (auditLog.isInfoEnabled() && 
isExternalInvocation())}} can be removed in {{startRollingUpgrade}} and 
{{finalizeRollingUpgrade}}, as its checked inside {{logAuditEvent(..)}} too.
{code}
    if (auditLog.isInfoEnabled() && isExternalInvocation()) {
      logAuditEvent(true, "startRollingUpgrade", null, null, null);
    }
    {code}

3. 
{{getAclStatus()}}, {{getXAttrs(..)}}, {{listXAttrs}} missing, successfull 
auditlog.

> So, the big question here is what should go in the audit log? All failures, 
> or just "permission denied" failures? Or, to put it a different way, if 
> someone attempts to do something and it fails because a file doesn't exist, 
> is that worth an audit log entry?
> We are currently inconsistent on this point. For example, concat, 
> getContentSummary, addCacheDirective, and setErasureEncodingPolicy create an 
> audit log entry for all failures, but setOwner, delete, and setAclEntries 
> attempt to only create an entry for AccessControlException-based failures. 
> There are a few operations, like allowSnapshot, disallowSnapshot, and 
> startRollingUpgrade that never create audit log failure entries at all. They 
> simply log nothing for any failure, and log success for a successful 
> operation.
> So to summarize, different HDFS operations currently fall into 3 categories:
> 1. audit-log all failures
> 2. audit-log only AccessControlException failures
> 3. never audit-log failures
> Which category is right?  And how can we fix the inconsistency
