Key: RANGER-2170
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2170
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Ranger
Affects Versions: master
Reporter: Qiang Zhang
Assignee: Qiang Zhang
Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of
solving a growing number of use cases.
Like Apache Solr, it is also an index server based on Lucence.
Ranger supports plugin to enable, monitor and manage Elasticsearch,
to control index security of Elasticsearch.
As there is X-Pack plugin for the Elasticsearch, but it is not free.
X-Pack is an Elastic Stack extension that bundles security, alerting,
monitoring, reporting,
and graph capabilities into one easy-to-install package.
We refer to the Indices Privileges design of X-Pack,
by keeping the permissions consistent,
to make user use ranger Elasticsearch plugin easily.
Reference X-Pack Indices Privileges:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-privileges.html
Here we develop Ranger Elasticsearch plugin, based on Elasticsearch version
6.2.2.
Elasticsearch 6.2.2 was released in February 20, 2018, reference release-notes:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/release-notes-6.2.2.html
Not like other system, Elasticsearch has no basic authentication,
it uses X-pack plugin to support basic authentication,
role-based access control, SSL/TLS encryption, LDAP and so on.
Not like X-pack, our Ranger Elasticsearch plugin is designed to do
authorization,
it is to control index of Elasticsearch without authentication,
this plugin should work with other Elasticsearch plugin to authenticate users.
