> 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.
