[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-6386) Audit log messages do not include column family / qualifier information consistently

["Marcelo Vanzin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6386?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marcelo Vanzin updated HBASE-6386:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: hbase-6386-v1.patch

Consistently include column family / qualifier info in audit logs.
    
This patch makes the AccessController consistently add information about column families and qualifiers into audit logs. Since there may be more than one cf / qualifier involved, the format of the audit log message changed slightly (coupled with some pretty ugly code to create the message).
    
TestAccessController passes; also tested on live HBase 0.92 (with a backported version of the patch).

> 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.
