---------------------------------
Summary: Ranger Authorizer - Memory Leak
Key: NIFI-4925
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4925
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Matt Gilman
Assignee: Matt Gilman
Authorization requests/results are now explicitly audited. This change was due
to the fact that the Ranger was auditing a lot of false positives previously.
This is partly because the NiFi uses authorization to check which features the
user may have permissions to. This check is used to enable/disable various
parts of the UI. The remainder of the false positives came from the authorizer
not knowing the entire context of the request. For instance, when a Processor
has no policy we check its parent and so on.
The memory leak is due to the authorizer holding onto authorization results
that are never destined for auditing.
