Sure. Hadoop has a concept of a pluggable kms. You can even just tell Hadoop to use a local Java keystore for your kms, if say you had a local single-node cluster.
You generally just have to set hadoop.kms.key.provider.uri to point at Ranger. I would look here for more information. Once the KMS is running you should be able to simply point Hadoop at the URL and that's it. No need to configure Kerberos: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-kms/index.html ________________________________________ From: Aneela Saleem [ane...@platalytics.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2016 2:27 PM To: user@ranger.incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Pre-requisite for KMS Thanks Benjamin for the quick response, Yeah, this is exactly that I want to achieve. But, I am not using ambari or cloudera. I have installed simple Hadoop from apache distribution and know want to configure it with Ranger KMS. Any guide will be much appreciated.

I take it that you just want to use encryption and not authorization (via Kerberos)? I've set up exactly that system. Let me know and I'll give some more details. ________________________________ From: Aneela Saleem [ane...@platalytics.com<mailto:ane...@platalytics.com>] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2016 1:51 PM To: user@ranger.incubator.apache.org<mailto:user@ranger.incubator.apache.org> Subject: Pre-requisite for KMS Hi, It may be silly to ask you guys but I 'm just curious about KMS. I want to give it a try with Ranger KMS. I want to know what are the pre-requisite of ranger KMS. 1. Do I need to setup Kerberos also with Hadoop 2. Do I need to enable Ranger HDFS plugin also for authorization I should do above two steps for a complete solution but for the time being, I want just to have KMS. So, your thoughts about the minimal components to get it working will be appreciated. Looking forward the guidance.
