Gregory Chanan created SENTRY-62:
------------------------------------
Summary: Solr binding should create a solr-usable Configuration to
pass to the BackendProvider
Key: SENTRY-62
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-62
Project: Sentry
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Gregory Chanan
Assignee: Gregory Chanan
Fix For: 1.3.0
Today, the SolrAuthzBinding uses the SimpleFileProviderBackend, which ends up
creating a configuration via:
{code}
new Configuration();
{code}
the issue with this is this might not be the Configuration we want -- for
example, in a secure setup, it may not have all the
authentication/authorization properties necessary to connect to hdfs to read
the sentry .ini file. I'm not sure exactly how this works in hive, but it may
be because hive has the relevant core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml in its classpath,
whereas in solr, this is uncommon.
Solr does have a way to specify hdfs configs already via the
HdfsDirectoryFactory and HdfsUtils. We should just reuse this.
