liyang commented on KYLIN-2703:
-------------------------------
Thanks for the heads up. Actually it is not just the patch review that takes
times.
There are discussions ongoing about redesign of the Kylin authorization model.
The issue could trace back to KYLIN-2720. We are trying to define table level
ACL in KYLIN-2761. And concern arises around how cube ACL works together with
table ACL. Even if cube ACL could be replaced by table ACL completely to result
a simpler model.
Obviously this JIRA is significantly impacted. I see two options.
* Wait above ACL redesign settle down, and resume this JIRA.
* Or, commit this to a released branch first (like 2.1.x) in case of urgency.
> kylin supports managing access rights for project and cube through apache
> ranger.

> Ranger is a framework to enable, monitor and manage comprehensive data
> security across the Hadoop platform. Apache Ranger has the following goals:
> 1. Centralized security administration to manage all security related tasks
> in a central UI or using REST APIs.
> 2. Fine grained authorization to do a specific action and/or operation with
> Hadoop component/tool and managed through a central administration tool
> 3. Standardize authorization method across all Hadoop components.
> 4. Enhanced support for different authorization methods - Role based access
> control, attribute based access control etc.
> 5. Centralize auditing of user access and administrative actions (security
> related) within all the components of Hadoop.
> Ranger has supported enable, monitor and manage following components:
> 1. HDFS
> 2. HIVE
> 3. HBASE
> 4. KNOX
> 5. YARN
> 6. STORM
> 7. SOLR
> 8. KAFKA
> 9. ATLAS
> In order to improve the flexibility of kylin privilege control and enhance
> value of kylin in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem, like hdfs, yarn, hive, hbase,
> Kylin should also support that using Ranger to control access rights for
> project and cube.
> Specific implementation plan is as following:
> On the ranger website, administrators can configure policies to control user
> access to projects and cube permissions.
> Kylin provides an abstract class and authorization interfaces for use by the
> ranger plugin. kylin instantiates ranger plugin’s implementation class when
> starting(this class extends the abstract class provided by kylin).
> Ranger plugin periodically polls ranger admin, updates the policy to the
> local, and updates project and cube access rights based on policy information.
> In the Kylin side：
> 1. Kylin provides an abstract class that enables the ranger plugin's
> implementation class to extend.
> 2. Add configuration item. 1) ranger authorization switch, 2) ranger plugin
> implementation class's name.
> 3. Instantiate the ranger plugin implementation class when starting kylin.
> 4. kylin provides authorization interfaces for ranger plugin calls.
> 5. According to the ranger authorization configuration item, hide kylin's
> authorization management page.
> 6. Using ranger manager access rights of the kylin does not affect kylin's
> existing permissions functions and logic.
> In the Ranger side：
> 1. Ranger plugin will periodically polls ranger admin, updates the policy to
> the local.
> 2. The ranger plugin invoking the authorization interfaces provided by kylin
> to updates the project and cube access rights based on the policy information.
