Ranger Audit Retention

[#1]

Hi All,

I've searched around HCC and was unable to come up with an answer to: There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically define a retention policy for the Ranger Audit Data (audit data is kept indefinitely unless we manually remove it). Is there a plan to add an automatic retention policy for these audit logs in HDFS and/or Solr?

* Falcon can be used for retention in HDFS - but will there be an easy-to-configure option under Ambari>Ranger under Audit?

Ranger stores access audit logs in HDFS for long term archival. Retention period depends on compliance requirements of the customer; there is no automatic purging of audit log files in HDFS.
