Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HDFS-6826: -------------------------------------------- I have committed this to trunk, branch-2 and branch-2.7. Thanks to [~asuresh] for driving this to completion through several iterations on the patch, and thanks to [~tucu00] for initial versions of the patch. > Plugin interface to enable delegation of HDFS authorization assertions > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6826 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6826 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Arun Suresh > Attachments: HDFS-6826-idea.patch, HDFS-6826-idea2.patch, > HDFS-6826-permchecker.patch, HDFS-6826.10.patch, HDFS-6826.11.patch, > HDFS-6826.12.patch, HDFS-6826.13.patch, HDFS-6826.14.patch, > HDFS-6826.15.patch, HDFS-6826.16.patch, HDFS-6826v3.patch, HDFS-6826v4.patch, > HDFS-6826v5.patch, HDFS-6826v6.patch, HDFS-6826v7.1.patch, > HDFS-6826v7.2.patch, HDFS-6826v7.3.patch, HDFS-6826v7.4.patch, > HDFS-6826v7.5.patch, HDFS-6826v7.6.patch, HDFS-6826v7.patch, > HDFS-6826v8.patch, HDFS-6826v9.patch, > HDFSPluggableAuthorizationProposal-v2.pdf, > HDFSPluggableAuthorizationProposal.pdf > > > When Hbase data, HiveMetaStore data or Search data is accessed via services > (Hbase region servers, HiveServer2, Impala, Solr) the services can enforce > permissions on corresponding entities (databases, tables, views, columns, > search collections, documents). It is desirable, when the data is accessed > directly by users accessing the underlying data files (i.e. from a MapReduce > job), that the permission of the data files map to the permissions of the > corresponding data entity (i.e. table, column family or search collection). > To enable this we need to have the necessary hooks in place in the NameNode > to delegate authorization to an external system that can map HDFS > files/directories to data entities and resolve their permissions based on the > data entities permissions. > I’ll be posting a design proposal in the next few days. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
