> Apache Kylin is an open source Distributed Analytics Engine designed to
> provide SQL interface and multi-dimensional analysis (OLAP) on Hadoop
> supporting extremely large datasets, original contributed from eBay Inc.
> Apache Kylin lets user query massive data set at sub-second latency in 3
> steps.
> 1. Identify a Star Schema on Hadoop.
> 2. Build Cube from the identified tables.
> 3. Query with ANSI-SQL and get results in sub-second, via ODBC, JDBC or
> RESTful API.
> We should support that using Ranger to control kylin's 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.
