Hello, I will like to contribute to Ranger to provide Authorization in CDAP with Ranger as policy backend. I was hoping to open a Jira issue for this and add relevant details to propose this integration but due to Jira lockdown I am not able to create a new Jira. I will really appreciate if a PMC/committer etc can help me in opening a jira for this and assign it to me. Also, is there any contribution guidelines to be followed while adding support for new services ? Besides the general contribution guidelines found here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=55151244
Here's some details about CDAP: Cask Data Application Platform (CDAP) is an integrated, open source application development platform for the Hadoop ecosystem that provides developers with data and application abstractions to simplify and accelerate application development, address a broader range of real-time and batch use cases, and deploy applications into production while satisfying enterprise requirements. CDAP has different hierarchical entities such as namespaces, streams, datasets, programs etc. http://docs.cask.co/cdap/current/en/developers-manual/building-blocks/index.html Recently, authorization capabilities has been added in CDAP to manage access to different entities. It has a general authorization framework which can be integrated with different authorization backend. It also has an integration with Apache Sentry and I am interested in integrating with Apache Ranger. A design doc for authorization framework of CDAP can be found here: https://wiki.cask.co/display/CE/Authorization+-+CDAP+3.4 More details about CDAP: 1. http://cdap.io/ 2. https://github.com/caskdata/cdap 3. http://docs.cask.co/cdap/current/en/index.html 4. www.cask.co Thanks, Rohit Sinha
