----------------------------------------
Summary: introduce authz-remote library to support thin client
integration for plugins
Key: RANGER-5550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5550
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: authz-api, pdp
Reporter: Madhan Neethiraj
Ranger plugins use {{authz-embedded}} or {{ranger-plugins-common}} library to
evaluate Ranger policies to authorize access requests. These libraries run the
policy engine in-process, making the policy evaluation very responsive.
However, they do bring in a long list of dependent libraries including jackson,
jetty, httpcomponents, solrj, zookeeper, hadoop-client, dropwizard, graalvm,
and more.
For plugins where a minimal library dependency is preferred, Ranger should
offer integration approach where policy evaluation is performed out-of-process,
in {{ranger-pdp}} server introduced in RANGER-5263. This Jira tracks new Ranger
library, {{authz-remote}} that provides implementation of RangerAuthorizer
interface that calls {{ranger-pdp}} REST APIs to evaluate policies. It is
critical for this module to keeps it dependency list to as minimal as possible.
