Description

In Yahoo production cluster audit logs more than 50% of entries comes from FSCK. FSCK makes same Namenode method calls as clients. Because of this, the operations are logged in audit logs similar to operations invoked by the client. I want to make a change to namenode not to log operations invoked by FSCK in audit logs.
