Hi Team,
Trying to understand Sentry architecture and layers hoping to adopt and
contribute to Sentry.
Would appreciate any pointers and clarifications from the current
committers.
May be I did not find the right documentation or not reading the
documentation and code right.
Quickly browsed code checked out from
https://github.com/cloudera/access.git
to get some insight.
It appears that Sentry segregates concerns into different layers
sentry-core
sentry-provider with sublayer sentry-provider-file
sentry-bonding with sublayer sentry-binding-hive
That is nice.
But, code from sentry-core has classes and concepts such as Server,
Database, Table, View etc.
This, in my opinion does not belong in sentry-core and belongs to
sentry-binding-hive.
Would appreciate your comments and thoughts.
Was debating whether Sentry team evaluated Shiro as an authorization
framework.
Looked into sentry pom file and found that Sentry pulls in Shiro dependency.
But, looking into Sentry code indicates Sentry is using only a few classes
from Shiro more like utility classes than using Shiro as authorization
framework.
Did Sentry team evaluate Shiro as authorization framework and then dropped
it to choose only some utility classes from Shiro?
Would appreciate your comments and thoughts.
Thanks
Dilli
