> Currently, AccessControler takes care of both generating audit events (by performing access checks) and storing them (by creating a log message and writing it to the AUDITLOG logger).
> This makes the logging system the only way to catch audit events. It means that if someone wants to do something fancier (like writing these records to a database somewhere), they need to hack through the logging system, and parse the messages generated by AccessController, which is not optimal.
> The attached patch decouples generation and storage by introducing a new interface, used by AccessController, to log the audit events. The current, log-based storage is kept in place so that current users won't be affected by the change.
> I'm filing this as an RFC at this point, so the patch is not totally clean; it's on top of HBase 0.92 (which is easier for me to test) and doesn't have any unit tests, for starters. But the changes should be very similar on trunk - I don't remember changes in this particular area of the code between those versions.
