Hari Sekhon commented on RANGER-1231:
-------------------------------------
I know this is a big ask and won't be done overnight, but if you had a database
that you still wanted to behave as a database and control it via the SQL Grants
that you're used to, then this feature would be really necessary.
Such a mechanism could also be able to extend Ranger more easily to control
other technologies such as RDBMS like MySQL / PostgreSQL or NoSQL technologies
like Cassandra and allow Ranger to become more of an enterprise security policy
integration point as Hadoop co-exists with many other technologies in larger
solutions. Otherwise people end up having to buy expensive proprietary
solutions just because they have this slight extensibility over what Ranger
already does to be able to cover one or two more technologies in the solution.
