--------------------------------------
Summary: HDFS folder permission exclusively managed my Ranger
Key: RANGER-693
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-693
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.5.1
Reporter: Don Bosco Durai
Fix For: 0.6.0
In HDFS plugin, if there are no policies for the file/folder, then Ranger falls
backs to HDFS file/folder permission.
While this is very convenient, but in some cases it is desirable that only
Ranger manages the policies. Good examples are folders like
/apps/hive/warehouse or some user folders where it is better that Ranger
manages the entire permission.
One suggestion is to mark folders which will be managed by Ranger. For these
folders, ignore all permissions and ownership set at the HDFS file/folder level.
This will be a very useful feature for Ranger.
