James Thomas commented on HDFS-6634:
------------------------------------
That would require this project to be a third-party service, much like the work
presented in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KumMKqBtr8
So I think the same concerns raised in the Q & A (starting around 25:30) would
apply here -- in particular, changes to the format of the audit log would cause
problems for user applications. I think tighter integration with HDFS and
exposure of the edits in ProtoBuf form is important.
