Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HDFS-6826:
--------------------------------------------
[~daryn],
v7.6 patch addresses the use cases we have talked about in this jira. I
understand that we are introducing a new interface, and it may need to evolve
or need a fix going forward.
How about we annotate the interface audience as limited private for Argus,
Sentry to limit its usage for now? We could also annotate it as unstable so
that the interface could evolve and mature over time without compatibility
concerns?

> 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.
