However, the gateway is built entirely upon a fairly generic framework. This framework is used to “plug-in” all of the behavior that makes it specific to Hadoop in general and any particular Hadoop REST API. It would be equally as possible to create a customized reverse proxy for other non-Hadoop HTTP endpoints. This approach is taken to ensure that the Apache Knox gateway can scale with the rapidly evolving Hadoop ecosystem.</p> +<p>Throughout this guide we will be using a publicly available REST API to demonstrate the development of various extension mechanisms. <a href="http://openweathermap.org/";>http://openweathermap.org/</a></p> +<h3><a id="Architecture+Overview">Architecture Overview</a> <a href="#Architecture+Overview"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>The gateway itself is a layer over an embedded Jetty JEE server. At the very highest level the gateway processes requests by using request URLs to lookup specific JEE Servlet Filter chain that is used to process the request. The gateway framework provides extensible mechanisms to assemble chains of custom filters that support secured access to services.</p> +<p>The gateway has two primary extensibility mechanisms: Service and Provider. The Service extensibility framework provides a way to add support for new HTTP/REST endpoints. For example, the support for WebHdfs is plugged into the Knox gateway as a Service. The Provider extensibility framework allows adding new features to the gateway that can be used across Services. An example of a Provider is an authentication provider. Providers can also expose APIs that other service and provider extensions can utilize.</p> +<p>Service and Provider integrations interact with the gateway framework in two distinct phases: Deployment and Runtime. The gateway framework can be thought of as a layer over the JEE Servlet framework. Specifically all runtime processing within the gateway is performed by JEE Servlet Filters. The two phases interact with this JEE Servlet Filter based model in very different ways. The first phase, Deployment, is responsible for converting fairly simple to understand configuration called topology into JEE WebArchive (WAR) based implementation details. The second phase, Runtime, is the processing of requests via a set of Filters configured in the WAR.</p> +<p>From an “ethos” perspective, Service and Provider extensions should attempt to incur complexity associated with configuration in the deployment phase. This should allow for very streamlined request processing that is very high performance and easily testable. The preference at runtime, in OO style, is for small classes that perform a specific function. The ideal set of implementation classes are then assembled by the Service and Provider plugins during deployment.</p> +<p>A second critical design consideration is streaming. The processing infrastructure is build around JEE Servlet Filters as they provide a natural streaming interception model. All Provider implementations should make every attempt to maintaining this streaming characteristic.</p> +<h3><a id="Project+Overview">Project Overview</a> <a href="#Project+Overview"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>The table below describes the purpose of the current modules in the project. Of particular importance are the root pom.xml and the gateway-release module. The root pom.xml is critical because this is where all dependency version must be declared. There should be no dependency version information in module pom.xml files. The gateway-release module is critical because the dependencies declared there essentially define the classpath of the released gateway server. This is also true of the other -release modules in the project.</p> +<table> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>File/Module </th> + <th>Description </th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <td>LICENSE </td> + <td>The license for all source files in the release. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>NOTICE </td> + <td>Attributions required by dependencies. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>README </td> + <td>A brief overview of the Knox project. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>CHANGES </td> + <td>A description of the changes for each release. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>ISSUES </td> + <td>The knox issues for the current release. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-util-common </td> + <td>Common low level utilities used by many modules. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-util-launcher </td> + <td>The launcher framework. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-util-urltemplate </td> + <td>The i18n logging and resource framework. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-i18n </td> + <td>The URL template and rewrite utilities </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-i18n-logging-log4j </td> + <td>The integration of i18n logging with log4j. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-i18n-logging-sl4j </td> + <td>The integration of i18n logging with sl4j. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-spi </td> + <td>The SPI for service and provider extensions. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-identity-assertion-common </td> + <td>The identity assertion provider base </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-identity-assertion-concat </td> + <td>An identity assertion provider that facilitates prefix and suffix concatenation.</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-identity-assertion-pseudo </td> + <td>The default identity assertion provider. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-jersey </td> + <td>The jersey display provider. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-rewrite </td> + <td>The URL rewrite provider. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-rewrite-func-hostmap-static </td> + <td>Host mapping function extension to rewrite. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-rewrite-func-service-registry </td> + <td>Service registry function extension to rewrite. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-rewrite-step-secure-query </td> + <td>Crypto step extension to rewrite. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-security-authz-acls </td> + <td>Service level authorization. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-security-jwt </td> + <td>JSON Web Token utilities. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-security-preauth </td> + <td>Preauthenticated SSO header support. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-security-shiro </td> + <td>Shiro authentiation integration. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-provider-security-webappsec </td> + <td>Filters to prevent common webapp security issues. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-as </td> + <td>The implementation of the Access service POC. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-definitions </td> + <td>The implementation of the Service definition and rewrite files. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-hbase </td> + <td>The implementation of the HBase service. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-hive </td> + <td>The implementation of the Hive service. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-oozie </td> + <td>The implementation of the Oozie service. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-tgs </td> + <td>The implementation of the Ticket Granting service POC. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-webhdfs </td> + <td>The implementation of the WebHdfs service. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-discovery-ambari </td> + <td>The Ambari service URL discovery implementation. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-service-remoteconfig </td> + <td>The implementation of the RemoteConfigurationRegistryClientService. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-server </td> + <td>The implementation of the Knox gateway server. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-shell </td> + <td>The implementation of the Knox Groovy shell. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-test-ldap </td> + <td>Pulls in all of the dependencies of the test LDAP server. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-server-launcher </td> + <td>The launcher definition for the gateway. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-shell-launcher </td> + <td>The launcher definition for the shell. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>knox-cli-launcher </td> + <td>A module to pull in all of the dependencies of the CLI. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-test-ldap-launcher </td> + <td>The launcher definition for the test LDAP server. </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>gateway-release </td> + <td>The definition of the gateway binary release.

These are the deployment and runtime phases. The deployment phase is responsible for converting topology descriptors into an executable JEE style WAR. The runtime phase is the processing of requests via WAR created during the deployment phase.</p> +<p>The deployment phase is arguably the more complex of the two phases. This is because runtime relies on well known JEE constructs while deployment introduces new framework concepts. The base concept of the deployment framework is that of a “contributor”. In the framework, contributors are pluggable component responsible for generating JEE WAR artifacts from topology files.</p> +<h3><a id="Deployment+Behavior">Deployment Behavior</a> <a href="#Deployment+Behavior"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>The goal of the deployment phase is to take easy to understand topology descriptions and convert them into optimized runtime artifacts. Our goal is not only should the topology descriptors be easy to understand, but have them be easy for a management system (e.g. Ambari) to generate. Think of deployment as compiling an assembly descriptor into a JEE WAR. WARs are then deployed to an embedded JEE container (i.e. Jetty).</p> +<p>Consider the results of starting the gateway the first time. There are two sets of files that are relevant for deployment. The first is the topology file <code><GATEWAY_HOME>/conf/topologies/sandbox.xml</code>. This second set is the WAR structure created during the deployment of the topology file.</p> +<pre><code>data/deployments/sandbox.war.143bfef07f0/WEB-INF + web.xml + gateway.xml + shiro.ini + rewrite.xml + hostmap.txt +</code></pre> +<p>Notice that the directory <code>sandbox.war.143bfef07f0</code> is an “unzipped” representation of a JEE WAR file. This specifically means that it contains a <code>WEB-INF</code> directory which contains a <code>web.xml</code> file. For the curious the strange number (i.e. 143bfef07f0) in the name of the WAR directory is an encoded timestamp. This is the timestamp of the topology file (i.e. sandbox.xml) at the time the deployment occurred. This value is used to determine when topology files have changed and redeployment is required.</p> +<p>Here is a brief overview of the purpose of each file in the WAR structure.</p> +<dl> + <dt>web.xml + </dt> + <dd>A standard JEE WAR descriptor.

This information is derived from the information in the provider section of the topology file.</dd> +</dl> +<p>The deployment framework follows “visitor” style patterns. Each topology file is parsed and the various constructs within it are “visited”. The appropriate contributor for each visited construct is selected by the framework. The contributor is then passed the contrust from the topology file and asked to update the JEE WAR artifacts. Each contributor is free to inspect and modify any portion of the WAR artifacts.</p> +<p>The diagram below provides an overview of the deployment processing.

You will note the initialize, contribute, finalize sequence. Each contributor is given three opportunities to interact with the topology and archive. This allows the various contributors to interact if required. For example, the service contributors use the deployment descriptor added to the WAR by the rewrite provider.</p> +<pre><code class="java">public static WebArchive createDeployment( GatewayConfig config, Topology topology ) { + Map<String,List<ProviderDeploymentContributor>> providers; + Map<String,List<ServiceDeploymentContributor>> services; + DeploymentContext context; + + providers = selectContextProviders( topology ); + services = selectContextServices( topology ); + context = createDeploymentContext( config, topology.getName(), topology, providers, services ); + + initialize( context, providers, services ); + contribute( context, providers, services ); + finalize( context, providers, services ); + + return context.getWebArchive(); +} +</code></pre> +<p>Below is a diagram that provides more detail. This diagram focuses on the interactions between the deployment factory and the service deployment contributors.

Much of the beginning and end of the sequence shown overlaps with the service deployment sequence above. Those steps (i.e. 1-6, 17) will not be described below for brevity. The remaining steps have detailed descriptions following the diagram.</p> +<img src='deployment-provider.png'/> +<ol> + <li> + <p>For each provider the appropriate provider deployment contributor is selected and invoked. The correct service deployment contributor is determined by first matching the role of a provider in the topology descriptor to a value provided by the getRole() method of the ProviderDeploymentContributor interface. If this is ambiguous, the name from the topology is used match the value provided by the getName() method of the ProviderDeploymentContributor interface. The initializeContribution method from <em>each</em> provider identified in the topology is called. Each provider deployment contributor is expected to setup any runtime artifacts in the WAR that other services or provides may need. Note: In addition, others provider not explicitly referenced in the topology may have their initializeContribution method called. If this is the case only one default instance for each role declared vis the getRole() method will be used. The method used to determine the default instance is non-de terministic so it is best to select a particular named instance of a provider for each role.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Each provider deployment contributor will typically add any runtime deployment descriptors it requires for operation. These descriptors are added to the WAR structure within the deployment context.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The contributeProvider method of each configured or default provider deployment contributor is invoked.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Each provider deployment contributor populates any runtime deployment descriptors based on information in the topology.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Provider deployment contributors are never asked to contribute to the deployment directly. Instead a service deployment contributor will ask to have a particular provider role (e.g. authentication) contribute to the deployment.</p></li> + <li> + <p>A service deployment contributor asks the framework to contribute filters for a given provider role.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The framework selects the appropriate provider deployment contributor and invokes its contributeFilter method.</p></li> + <li> + <p>During this invocation the provider deployment contributor populate populate service specific information. In particular it will add filters to the gateway servlet’s runtime descriptor by adding JEE Servlet Filters. These filters will be added to the resources (or URLs) identified by the service deployment contributor.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The finalizeContribute method of all referenced and default provider deployment contributors is invoked.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The provider deployment contributor is expected to perform any final modifications to the runtime descriptors in the WAR structure.</p></li> +</ol> +<h3><a id="Runtime+Behavior">Runtime Behavior</a> <a href="#Runtime+Behavior"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>The runtime behavior of the gateway is somewhat simpler as it more or less follows well known JEE models. There is one significant wrinkle. The filter chains are managed within the GatewayServlet as opposed to being managed by the JEE container. This is the result of an early decision made in the project. The intention is to allow more powerful URL matching than is provided by the JEE Servlet mapping mechanisms.</p> +<p>The diagram below provides a high level overview of the runtime processing. An explanation for each step is provided after the diagram.</p> +<img src='runtime-overview.png'/> +<ol> + <li> + <p>A REST client makes a HTTP request that is received by the embedded JEE container.</p></li> + <li> + <p>A filter chain is looked up in a map of URLs to filter chains.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The filter chain, which is itself a filter, is invoked.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Each filter invokes the filters that follow it in the chain. The request and response objects can be wrapped in typically JEE Filter fashion. Filters may not continue chain processing and return if that is appropriate.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Eventually the end of the last filter in the chain is invoked. Typically this is a special “dispatch” filter that is responsible for dispatching the request to the ultimate endpoint. Dispatch filters are also responsible for reading the response.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The response may be in the form of a number of content types (e.g. application/json, text/xml).</p></li> + <li> + <p>The response entity is streamed through the various response wrappers added by the filters. These response wrappers may rewrite various portions of the headers and body as per their configuration.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The return of the response entity to the client is ultimately “pulled through” the filter response wrapper by the container.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The response entity is returned original client.</p></li> +</ol> +<p>This diagram providers a more detailed breakdown of the request processing. Again descriptions of each step follow the diagram.</p> +<img src='runtime-request-processing.png'/> +<ol> + <li> + <p>A REST client makes a HTTP request that is received by the embedded JEE container.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The embedded container looks up the servlet mapped to the URL and invokes the service method. This our case the GatewayServlet is mapped to /* and therefore receives all requests for a given topology. Keep in mind that the WAR itself is deployed on a root context path that typically contains a level for the gateway and the name of the topology. This means that there is a single GatewayServlet per topology and it is effectivly mapped to <gateway>/<topology>/*.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The GatewayServlet holds a single reference to a GatewayFilter which is a specialized JEE Servlet Filter. This choice was made to allow the GatewayServlet to dynamically deploy modified topologies. This is done by building a new GatewayFilter instance and replacing the old in an atomic fashion.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The GatewayFilter contains another layer of URL mapping as defined in the gateway.xml runtime descriptor. The various service deployment contributor added these mappings at deployment time. Each service may add a number of different sub-URLs depending in their requirements. These sub-URLs will all be mapped to independently configured filter chains.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The GatewayFilter invokes the doFilter method on the selected chain.</p></li> + <li> + <p>The chain invokes the doFilter method of the first filter in the chain.</p></li> + <li> + <p>Each filter in the chain continues processing by invoking the doFilter on the next filter in the chain. Ultimately a dispatch filter forward the request to the real service instead of invoking another filter. This is sometimes referred to as pivoting.</p></li> +</ol> +<h2><a id="Gateway+Servlet+&+Gateway+Filter">Gateway Servlet & Gateway Filter</a> <a href="#Gateway+Servlet+&+Gateway+Filter"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h2> +<p>TODO</p> +<pre><code class="xml"><web-app> + + <servlet> + <servlet-name>sample</servlet-name> + <servlet-class>org.apache.knox.gateway.GatewayServlet</servlet-class> + <init-param> + <param-name>gatewayDescriptorLocation</param-name> + <param-value>gateway.xml</param-value> + </init-param> + </servlet> + + <servlet-mapping> + <servlet-name>sandbox</servlet-name> + <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> + </servlet-mapping> + + <listener> + <listener-class>org.apache.knox.gateway.services.GatewayServicesContextListener</listener-class> + </listener> + + ... + +</web-app> +</code></pre> +<pre><code class="xml"><gateway> + + <resource> + <role>WEATHER</role> + <pattern>/weather/**?**</pattern> + + <filter> + <role>authentication</role> + <name>sample</name> + <class>...</class> + </filter> + + <filter>...</filter>* + + </resource> + +</gateway> +</code></pre> +<pre><code class="java">@Test +public void testDevGuideSample() throws Exception { + Template pattern, input; + Matcher<String> matcher; + Matcher<String>.Match match; + + // GET http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Palo+Alto + pattern = Parser.parse( "/weather/**?**" ); + input = Parser.parse( "/weather/2.5?q=Palo+Alto" ); + + matcher = new Matcher<String>(); + matcher.add( pattern, "fake-chain" ); + match = matcher.match( input ); + + assertThat( match.getValue(), is( "fake-chain") ); +} +</code></pre> +<h2><a id="Extension+Logistics">Extension Logistics</a> <a href="#Extension+Logistics"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h2> +<p>There are a number of extension points available in the gateway: services, providers, rewrite steps and functions, etc. All of these use the Java ServiceLoader mechanism for their discovery.

As an extensible server this is made straight forward but it requires some understanding of how the server’s classpath is setup. In the <GATEWAY_HOME> directory there are four class path related directories (i.e. bin, lib, dep, ext).</p> +<p>The bin directory contains very small “launcher” jars that contain only enough code to read configuration and setup a class path. By default the configuration of a launcher is embedded with the launcher JAR but it may also be extracted into a .cfg file. In that file you will see how the class path is defined.</p> +<pre><code>class.path=../lib/*.jar,../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar +</code></pre> +<p>The paths are all relative to the directory that contains the launcher JAR.</p> +<dl> + <dt>../lib/*.jar + </dt> + <dd>These are the “built-in” jars that are part of the project itself.

Below are several points that are somewhat unique to the Knox project.</p> +<ol> + <li> + <p>Add the module to the root pom.xml file’s <modules> list. Take care to ensure that the module is in the correct place in the list based on its dependencies. Note: In general modules should not have non-test dependencies on gateway-server but rather gateway-spi</p></li> + <li> + <p>Any new dependencies must be represented in the root pom.xml file’s <dependencyManagement> section. The required version of the dependencies will be declared there. The new sub-module’s pom.xml file must not include dependency version information. This helps prevent dependency version conflict issues.</p></li> + <li> + <p>If the extension is to be “built into” the released gateway server it needs to be added as a dependency to the gateway-release module. This is done by adding to the <dependencies> section of the gateway-release’s pom.xml file. If this isn’t done the JARs for the module will not be automatically packaged into the release artifacts. This can be useful while an extension is under development but not yet ready for inclusion in the release.</p></li> +</ol> +<p>More detailed examples of adding both a service and a provider extension are provided in subsequent sections.</p> +<h3><a id="Services">Services</a> <a href="#Services"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>Services are extensions that are responsible for converting information in the topology file to runtime descriptors.

This file’s contents must adhere to the format outlined above.</p> +<p>If this configuration exists, Knox will apply it as if it were part of the internal configuration.</p> +<p><strong>Example</strong></p> +<p>Following the aforementioned SOLR example, Knox needs to know in which configuration file to find the <em>INFRA_SOLR</em> component configuration property, so the following property must be defined in <strong><em>{GATEWAY_HOME}</em>/conf/ambari-discovery-component-config.properties</strong> :</p> +<pre><code>INFRA_SOLR=infra-solr-env +</code></pre> +<p>This tells Knox to look for the <strong>infra_solr_port</strong> property in the <strong>infra-solr-env</strong> configuration.</p> +<p><strong><em>N.B. Knox must be restarted for changes to this external configuration to be applied.</em></strong></p> +<h3><a id="Validator">Validator</a> <a href="#Validator"><img src="markbook-section-link.png"/></a></h3> +<p>Apache Knox provides preauth federation authentication where<br/>Knox supports two built-in validators for verifying incoming requests. In this section, we describe how to write a custom validator for this scenario. The provided validators include: </p> +<ul> + <li><em>preauth.default.validation:</em> This default behavior does not perform any validation check. All requests will pass.</li> + <li><em>preauth.ip.validation</em> : This validation checks if a request is originated from an IP address which is configured in Knox service through property <em>preauth.ip.addresses</em>.</li> +</ul> +<p>However, these built-in validation choices may not fulfill the internal requirments of some organization. Therefore, Knox supports (since 0.12) a pluggble framework where anyone can include a custom validator. </p> +<p>In essence, a user can add a custom validator by following these steps. The corresponding code examples are incorporated after that:</p> +<ol> + <li>Create a separate Java package (e.g. com.company.knox.validator) in a new or existing Maven project.</li> + <li>Create a new class (e.g. <em>CustomValidator</em>) that implements <em>org.apache.knox.gateway.preauth.filter.PreAuthValidator</em>.</li> + <li>The class should implement the method <em>String getName()</em> that may returns a string constant. The step-9 will need this user defined string constant.</li> + <li>The class should implement the method <em>boolean validate(HttpServletRequest httpRequest, FilterConfig filterConfig)</em>. This is the key method which will validate the request based on ‘httpRequest’ and ‘filterConfig’. In most common cases, user may need to use HTTP headers value to validate. For example, client can get a token from an authentication service and pass it as HTTP header. This validate method needs to extract that header and verify the token. In some instance, the server may need to contact the same authentication service to validate.</li> + <li>Create a text file src/resources/META-INF/services and add fully qualified name of your custom validator class (e.g. <em>com.company.knox.validator.CustomValidator</em>).</li> + <li>You may need to include the packages “org.apache.knox.gateway-provider-security-preauth” of version 0.12+ and “javax.servlet.javax.servlet-api” of version 3.1.0+ in pom.xml.</li> + <li>Build your custom jar.</li> + <li>Deploy the jar in $GATEWAY_HOME/ext directory.</li> + <li>Add/modify a parameter called <em>preauth.validation.method</em> with the name of validator used in step #3. Optionally, you may add any new parameter that may be required only for your CustomValidator.</li> +</ol> +<p><strong>Validator Class (Step 2-4)</strong> </p> +<pre><code>package com.company.knox.validator; + +import org.apache.knox.gateway.preauth.filter.PreAuthValidationException; +import org.apache.knox.gateway.preauth.filter.PreAuthValidator; +import com.google.common.base.Strings; + +import javax.servlet.FilterConfig; +import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; + +public class CustomValidator extends PreAuthValidator { + //Any string constant value should work for these 3 variables + //This string will be used in 'services' file. + public static final String CUSTOM_VALIDATOR_NAME = "fooValidator"; + //Optional: User may want to pass soemthign through HTTP header.
