Re: [DISCUSS] GeoLite database licensing change, master build broken…..

2020-01-13 Thread Michael Miklavcic
Yes, understood. We do not provide a mechanism for cleaning individual
records from the DB file. Just a thought, but a workaround could be to
download the latest file from maxmind and simply delete the old file.
That's not ideal, but it might be something that could still be automated
depending on the maxmind implementation. Definitely open to other options,
but I wanted to at least come to the table with a simple workable option.

My concern is less the legal concern about anything regarding Metron or
ASF, I 100% agree the ASF isn't responsible for users fulfilling their
legal obligations. My concern there about the practical ability of users to
even be able to do the sort of recalculation necessary to properly act on
such a requirement. The minimum is probably to call out they need to clean
it up, but that may cause a lot of friction for our users.

Justin,

I have not read the new license, but the idea I believe is yes, whomever
downloads and accepts the new license is then responsible for adherence to
the applicable law,
Which is why the Apache Foundation cannot be that entity I would think.

We may want to send this past Apache Legal?

  On the whole, I agree.  I think the immediate focus should be to rip out
maxmind from default usage in master, even if it's done a bit roughly.
Getting master at least building for people would probably be a good first
step.

Couple further thoughts

   - JUnit 5 supports a variety of conditional testing conditions. It might
   be possible to do "Test is enabled if property
   maxmind.geo.database.location is set", and just provide instructions to
   users on actually doing it instead of having to manually enable/disable the
   test via code.
   - Remove DB download/install from Ambari. I agree with removing the
   actual dl/load, but still keeping the default location setup.
   - I'm inclined to think it should be removed from the default demo
   enrichments. We might be able to replace the GEO_GET with some dummy
   stellar and just produce similar outputs, since our demo data has a limited
   set of IPs, iirc. Obviously, we'd want to document that fairly well and
   also let users manually set it up for non-demo data.
   - CLI tool should be fine for letting users load, it's more or less why
   it existed in the first place. Maybe we also add a check if someone tries
   using the old URL and let them know.
   - We need to document that these changes occurred for CCPA reasons, so
   that users can evaluate the consequences.
   - Given that I am not even slightly a lawyer, my understanding here is
   likely wrong, but are there further implications here? Say a user runs a
   bunch of data through Metron (both enrichments and profiler) using these
   IPs. A subset of those IPs is removed as it shouldn't be used. Would a user
   then have to remove all data derived from these IPs (e.g. anything in
   ES/Solr, anything in HDFS, any profiles using the data?). If they do have
   to remove it, I assume that's not directly out problem (since they have to
   do cleanup), but we're probably not making it easy on them in terms of
   providing the ability to clean up that sort of information and rerun
   profiles and such.

I agree with all of that, my only thinking on contrib is, if that component
is not tested and has no coverage, and needs manual steps, then we may want
to separate it.
We would have to have some handle on full dev as well right?

Hey Otto,

As I mentioned above, we have had this issue with other components before,
e.g. mysql. I don't see a compelling reason to discontinue or push this
component to contrib just yet - it's a type of enrichment that happens to
require an additional manual step. Per the article (
https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/),

Maxmind is not requiring purchase, merely a user to register due to GDPR
and CCPA requirements. That being said, it does cause issues for the
integration tests. I think we should minimally add an @Ignore annotation to
the testLoadGeoIpDatabase test in MaxmindDbEnrichmentLoaderTest and
provide manual instructions for running the integration test if/when
someone submits a PR affecting this code.

Users can still use the geolite DB by uploading it to HDFS. (Incidentally,
this even provides a crude mechanism for versioning, should a user choose
to use the config path that way). We separated the deployment side of the
geolite DB from the consumption side
https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-platform/metron-enrichment/metron-enrichment-common/src/main/java/org/apache/metron/enrichment/adapters/maxmind/geo/GeoLiteCityDatabase.java#L135.

All that needs to happen is the user would drop the file in HDFS. This had
previously happened via Ambari - see here -
https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-deployment/packaging/ambari/metron-mpack/src/main/resources/common-services/METRON/CURRENT/package/scripts/enrichment_commands.py#L95.

We should probably do a couple things:

1. Minimally, remove the DB download and install from Ambari - we might
choose to keep around the HDFS path creation so that we have a reasonable
default prepped and ready.
2. Add documentation to manually install the geolite DB (register with
maxmind) OR remove it from our default demo enrichments shipped with the
platform.

Manual DB file loading would be managed using the CLI tool. You should be
able to load it via local file URL (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme) or via a custom hosted
solution via the --geo_url option. See more details here -
https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-platform/metron-data-management#geolite2-loader

Anything else I'm missing? Probably worth some feedback from Justin Leet on

Hey Otto,

As I mentioned above, we have had this issue with other components before,
e.g. mysql. I don't see a compelling reason to discontinue or push this
component to contrib just yet - it's a type of enrichment that happens to
require an additional manual step. Per the article (
https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/),
Maxmind is not requiring purchase, merely a user to register due to GDPR
and CCPA requirements. That being said, it does cause issues for the
integration tests. I think we should minimally add an @Ignore annotation to
the testLoadGeoIpDatabase test in MaxmindDbEnrichmentLoaderTest and
provide manual instructions for running the integration test if/when
someone submits a PR affecting this code.

Users can still use the geolite DB by uploading it to HDFS. (Incidentally,
this even provides a crude mechanism for versioning, should a user choose
to use the config path that way). We separated the deployment side of the
geolite DB from the consumption side
https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-platform/metron-enrichment/metron-enrichment-common/src/main/java/org/apache/metron/enrichment/adapters/maxmind/geo/GeoLiteCityDatabase.java#L135.
All that needs to happen is the user would drop the file in HDFS. This had
previously happened via Ambari - see here -
https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-deployment/packaging/ambari/metron-mpack/src/main/resources/common-services/METRON/CURRENT/package/scripts/enrichment_commands.py#L95.
We should probably do a couple things:

   1. Minimally, remove the DB download and install from Ambari - we might
   choose to keep around the HDFS path creation so that we have a reasonable
   default prepped and ready.
   2. Add documentation to manually install the geolite DB (register with
   maxmind) OR remove it from our default demo enrichments shipped with the

Manual DB file loading would be managed using the CLI tool. You should be

2020-01-13 Thread Otto Fowler
Hi Tom, that is true, and I think that is the only viable approach.  We do
however use the database for testing during build, and we do however setup
the components that use the data base in the ’sample’ flow with the
simulated sensors  for our vagrant deploy… and our contrib/docker deploy
etc.

So, having the user download their own properly licensed version ( and
having the user responsible for the privacy law issues ) is fine, but I
think we need to talk through all the ways we are going to change the
build, what it means for testing that component ( does it move to contrib ?
), and the default deployment to vagrant/topology.

Hi Otto,

Thank you for raising this in the discussion.

It seems to me that Maxmind is proactive about providing instructions and code 
to deliver updates to the local system. I can recall being surprised that the 
current Metron solution seemed to do more than I expected, i.e., I thought I 
would need to get Maxmind files into the local file system where Metron would 
pick those up and load them into HDFS and instead Metron did it all.

Perhaps the approach to simplify Metron and have it load files from the local 
file system into HDFS, how you get the files to the local file system is up to

I haven't had a chance to read the details yet, but we may need to make
this portion of the dev environment manual. Other libraries, e.g. mysql,
had issues like this as well.
