Marcelo Vanzin commented on HBASE-6386:
---------------------------------------
Other methods also seem to suffer from similar issues; for example,
preIncrementColumnValue does this:
{code}
requirePermission(TablePermission.Action.WRITE, c.getEnvironment(),
Arrays.asList(new byte[][]{family}));
{code}
Even though there is a "qualifier" argument; so the qualifier information never
makes it to the audit log. It also kinda sucks that there's no standard "family
map" type for all these operations, so to come up with one common type for
auditing, you'd have to make copies of that data (or use ugly wrapper objects).

> Components: security
> Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin
>
> The code related to this issue is in
> AccessController.java:permissionGranted().
> When creating audit logs, that method will do one of the following:
> * grant access, create audit log with table name only
> * deny access because of table permission, create audit log with table name
> only
> * deny access because of column family / qualifier permission, create audit
> log with specific family / qualifier
> So, in the case where more than one column family and/or qualifier are in the
> same request, there will be a loss of information. Even in the case where
> only one column family and/or qualifier is involved, information may be lost.
> It would be better if this behavior consistently included all the information
> in the request; regardless of access being granted or denied, and regardless
> which permission caused the denial, the column family and qualifier info
> should be part of the audit log message.
