How can I control the size of hdfs-audit.log?

[#1]

I found the hdfs-audit.log is increasing very quickly. It is fulling /var/log

-rw-r--r-- 1 hdfs hadoop 33230744768 Dec 2 23:59 hdfs-audit.log.2016-12-02 -rw-r--r-- 1 hdfs hadoop 21023710437 Dec 3 23:59 hdfs-audit.log.2016-12-03 -rw-r--r-- 1 hdfs hadoop 10840252416 Dec 4 23:59 hdfs-audit.log.2016-12-04

How can I control the size of hdfs-audit.log? Why it is so large size?

Thanks
