Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-13396:
-------------------------------------------

bq. The requirement for this comes from a post-processing tool, which accepts 
only json format logs.

Why can't we spit out fixed field and then use a tool to convert that to JSON 
so that this other mystery tool can process it?  

bq. However, adding a plugin to the KMS audit

Is the intent to output multiple format types then?

bq.  one can easily extend the current logging with the formats needed, while 
maintaining backwards-compatibility.

This isn't really true in practice. See, e.g., 
http://linuxjedi.co.uk/posts/2014/Oct/31/why-json-is-bad-for-applications/ .  
Lots of other articles on this topic elsewhere.
