On the sharing and securing points, it seems like having the result of a query run hang around in HDFS on a given URL would work, we can then use Ranger policies (RBAC, or even ABAC later) to control access, this also solves the page storage problem, and gives us a kind of two step approach, both of which could (maybe, possibly, but probably not) be large enough to need distribution, i.e. the initial search everything and the subsequent sort / page through the results. Does anyone imaging sorting? Maybe sub-filtering, but PCAP is heavily time based, so timestamp sort ok?
I also suspect it's worth considering the lifecycle of our stored result sets as being meta-data driven. If I'm doing a speculative search I don't really care if an admin cleans that up after at the end of day / week / disk space nervousness limit. However, if I find something good, I might want to mark the result set as immune from automatic deletion. The other issue I would raise, which has implications for our PCAP capture, and also impacts Otto's suggestion of 'self-uploaded' PCAPs is how we namespace PCAP collection and retrieval. The problem here is that I might have PCAPs from multiple locations which have conflicting private IP ranges, so I can't logically dump them all in the same repository. Solving the collection end of that is probably a separate unit of effort, but this retrieval architecture should support multiple file system locations. If we wanted to get fancy about it, we should look at using the stored result sets as a kind of cache, for other queries, as people refine and narrow down queries, it may make sense to be more sophisticated about where our query jobs pull from (i.e. filter the subset from a previous resultset, rather than scanning petabytes of source data). This may imply some kind of TOC for the cache. The underlying immutability of the PCAP store should make this fairly tractable. FYI, I've been doing a lot of thinking around data security, API and configuration security and auditing recently, but I suspect that is a different discuss thread. I'll kick something off shortly with a few thoughts. I see a lot of this as long term goals to be honest, so as Jon says, we can definitely take a few baby steps to start.
