That would work, but afaik Cassandra doesn't have an equivalent of RequestContextHolder/SecurityContextHolder that is able to retrieve the user/session of a given thread/request (maybe I'm wrong as I'm no auth expert), so if these don't exist we'd need to add equivalent to those or do it via MDC (set the context when request arrives, propagate to down stream threads, cleanup), which can become quite messy as shown in CASSANDRA-7276.
For CQL statements perhaps the query tracing infrastructure could be reused to provide that info, but that would require further investigation. See CASSANDRA-1123 for more details on that. 2016-01-25 12:30 GMT-03:00 oleg yusim <olegyu...@gmail.com>: > Paulo, > > Ideally - all the actions (security purposes, preserving completness of > the audit trail).
