Hive
  • Operations (except grant, revoke, and metadata access only) sent to HiveServer2

Limitations:
  • Actions taken against Hive using the Hive CLI are not audited. Therefore if you have enabled auditing you should disable the Hive CLI to prevent actions against Hive that are not audited.
  • In simple authentication mode, the username in log events is the username passed in the HiveServer2 connect command. If you do not pass a username in the connect command, the username is log events is anonymous.
 CDH 5.0.0
Hue

You do not directly configure the Sentry service for auditing. Instead, when you configure the Hive and Impala services for auditing, grant, revoke, and metadata operations appear in the Hive or Impala service audit logs.		 CDH 5.1.0
