Ramesh Mani commented on RANGER-1958:
-------------------------------------
[~an...@apache.org] Since there is ACL in Phoenix, it would good to have a
RangerPhoenixPlugin than relying on RangerHBasePlugin alone.
But incase that is a long way to go and want to leverage on RangerHBasePlugin
what is the expected implementation on getUserPernissions API? Could you please
elaborate on the Phoenix request and what is expected out from Ranger? That
will help us to move forward on this.
> [HBase] Implement getUserPermissions API of AccessControlService.Interface to
> allow clients to access HBase permissions stored in Ranger

> Key: RANGER-1958
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1958
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: plugins
> Reporter: Ankit Singhal
> Priority: Major
>
> We have added the support of ACLs in Phoenix as part of PHOENIX-4198.
> Currently, the implementation relies on some of the APIs provided by
> AccessControlService.Interface to get the user permission of the table but we
> see that the API "AccessControlService.Interface#getUserPermissions" is not
> yet implemented in Ranger authorization module for HBase and thus, we are
> unable to access permissions stored for HBase Table in Phoenix.
> In class RangerAuthorizationCoprocessor
> {code}
> @Override
> public void getUserPermissions(RpcController controller,
> AccessControlProtos.GetUserPermissionsRequest request,
> RpcCallback<AccessControlProtos.GetUserPermissionsResponse> done) {
> LOG.debug("getUserPermissions(): ");
> }
> {code}
> If we just implement this API, we can leverage the current HBase Ranger
> plugin for Phoenix too.
> Although the long-term solution for Ranger could be to implement the
> coprocessor hooks for Phoenix as how it has been done for HBase so that we
> can also authorize new entities like VIEW, SEQUENCES, FUNCTIONs (which can
> not be supported with native HBase ACLs) along with Table and Schema.
> Let me know your thoughts, I can try to put up a patch soon.
