Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6393: --------------------------------------- bq. About CoprocessorEnvironment, I was passing that so I could get to the configuration, but I can easily change it so that loggers get the configuration object itself, instead. I think that would be best. > Decouple audit event creation from storage in AccessController > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6393 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6393 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Brainstorming > Components: security > Affects Versions: 0.96.0 > Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin > Attachments: hbase-6393-v1.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
