What would the audit record on Zeppelin users actions when using Hive?

Assume using Zeppelin to execute Hive queries. See: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.6.1/bk_zeppelin-component-guide/content/config-hive-access.html

Would the auditing capture the actions as the actual Zeppelin user or as the single hive user defined for the Zeppelin connection that is shared among many Zeppelin users?

@Constantin Stanca

Zeppelin in HDP 2.6 supports user impersonation. When properly configured, the audit logs should capture the actual end-user submitting the hive queries.

Thanks. Setting doAs=true should do the trick.
