[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8316) Audit logging should be disabled by default

Eli Collins created HADOOP-8316:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Audit logging should be disabled by default
                 Key: HADOOP-8316
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8316
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Eli Collins
            Assignee: Eli Collins


HADOOP-7633 made hdfs audit logging on by default (INFO level) in log4j.properties used for the packages, this then got copied over to the non-packaging log4j.properties in HADOOP-8216 (which made them consistent).

Seems like we should keep with the v1.x setting which is disabled (WARNING level) by default. There's a performance overhead to audit logging, and HADOOP-7633 provided not rationale (just "We should add the audit logs as part of default confs") as to why they were enabled for the packages. Note that as of HADOOP-8224 you'll be able to configure this.
