-------------------------------------

             Summary: Normalize Hadoop Audit Logs
                 Key: HADOOP-10569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10569
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Vinay Shukla


It will be very useful to normalized the audit format across various Hadoop components.

A common audit format will help both tools understand the audit record consistenlty across sub-projects and will be easier for humans.

If a new common audit format is devised it will be useful to consider the 7 W's of audit 

1. What Action & with What Results  - E.g What was done, action initiated, API invoked, Job Submitted and etc. - What were the results (success, failure etc)
2. Who - E.g User, Proxy User (If available), IP Address (if available)
3. When - Timestamp, 
4. Where - What subsystem, component, node name
5. Why : Now why is difficult to answer. However with Audit event correction we can provide better context. E.g A user submitted PIG script that results in some MR jobs and HDFS read/writes can be correlated.
