Dear Team, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nikhil Raj, and I am currently working with Apache Spark for one of my projects , where through the help of a parquet file we are creating an external table in Spark.
I am reaching out to seek assistance regarding user authentication for our Apache Spark application. Currently, we can connect to the application using only the host and port information. However, for security reasons, we would like to implement user authentication to control access and ensure data integrity. After reviewing the available documentation and resources, I found that adding user authentication to our Spark setup requires additional configurations or plugins. However, I'm facing challenges in understanding the exact steps or best practices to implement this. Could you please provide guidance or point me towards relevant documentation/resources that detail how to integrate user authentication into Apache Spark? Additionally, if there are any recommended practices or considerations for ensuring the security of our Spark setup, we would greatly appreciate your insights on that as well. Your assistance in this matter would be invaluable to us, as we aim to enhance the security of our Spark application and safeguard our data effectively. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you and your suggestions. Warm regards, NIKHIL RAJ Developer Estuate Software Pvt. Ltd. Thanks & Regards
