*Audit Logs*
Audit logs are logged from the Hive metastore server for every metastore API
invocation.
An audit log has the function and some of the relevant function arguments
logged in the metastore log file. It is logged at the INFO level of log4j, so
you need to make sure that the logging at the INFO level is enabled (see
HIVE-3505). The name of the log entry is "HiveMetaStore.audit".
Audit logs were added in Hive 0.7 for secure client connections (HIVE-1948) and
in Hive 0.10 for non-secure connections (HIVE-3277; also see HIVE-2797).
