Nigel Jones commented on RANGER-1454:
-------------------------------------
Yes I've raised this as a placeholder for now. Once the glossary itself becomes
clearer, then I believe we should have a new API on Atlas which exposes the
tags in a ranger-friendly form (also the subject of a related jira).
The v2 glossary is more sophisticated so there are multiple levels of
classifications .. but the new API (pointed to by a new tagsync, or a variant
thereof) can allow ranger to work the same as today. The discussion after that
may be to consider whether any additional metadata should be available in
ranger as a first-class entity so that it can easily be used in rules... but
we're a fair few steps away from that ;-)
> Support of Atlas v2 glossary API proposal for tag source

> Key: RANGER-1454
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1454
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: tagsync
> Reporter: Nigel Jones
> Assignee: Nigel Jones
> Labels: VirtualDataConnector
>
> A new v2 glossary capability is proposed for Atlas in ATLAS-1410.
> As part of this the glossary model becomes more sophisticated. In order to
> preserve the current simple tag(trait type):parms(trait instance)-entity
> relationship a new tagsync process will be developed that makes use of a new
> API proposed in ATLAS-1662. This would be an alternative to the current one
> so that existing users could continue unaffected, and a change is only
> required if moving to the v2 glossary implementation
> This will also allow the process of retrieving tags to be more efficient, and
> this new API can form a consumer-centric interface to support multiple
> enforcement technologies, including, but not restricted to, Ranger.
> feel free to assign to me/modify permissions ;-)
