Rangers,
Over past several months the dev community has been busy in enhancing Apache
Ranger with new features, improvements and fixes. Here are few
features/enhancements since last major release, Apache Ranger 2.0.0:
- Hive plugin enhancement to authorize based on database/table owners
- Solr plugin enhancement to support document level authorization
- Kafka plugin enhancement to support authorization on consumer-groups
- Presto plugin enhancements to support row-filtering and column-masking
- Atlas plugin enhancements to support authorization for new operations and
resources
- Plugins enhancement to support Ranger HA without requiring a load-balancer
- Plugins enhancements to support incremental tag updates
- Plugins enhancements to support super-users and super-groups
- Plugins enhancements to support audit excluded-users
- Added support for Elastic Search as audit store
- Ranger Admin UI improvements
- Performance improvement in bulk create/update of policies
- Ranger KMS enhancement to support Azure Key Vault
- Java client library to access Ranger REST APIs
- updated versions of dependent libraries/components
With significant improvements in place, it is time for the next maintenance
release of Apache Ranger!
I propose to release Apache Ranger 2.1.0 by early next month. Please review and
send your comments.
Regards,
Madhan
