Description

Namenode audit logs could be ignoring certain transactions that are successfully completed. This is because it check if the RemoteIP is null to decide if a transaction is remote or not. In certain cases, RemoteIP could return null but the xsaction could still be "remote". An example is a case where a client gets killed while in the middle of the transaction.
