Apache Ranger Description

Apache Ranger™ serves as a framework designed to facilitate, oversee, and manage extensive data security within the Hadoop ecosystem. The goal of Ranger is to implement a thorough security solution throughout the Apache Hadoop landscape. With the introduction of Apache YARN, the Hadoop platform can effectively accommodate a genuine data lake architecture, allowing businesses to operate various workloads in a multi-tenant setting. As the need for data security in Hadoop evolves, it must adapt to cater to diverse use cases regarding data access, while also offering a centralized framework for the administration of security policies and the oversight of user access. This centralized security management allows for the execution of all security-related tasks via a unified user interface or through REST APIs. Additionally, Ranger provides fine-grained authorization, enabling specific actions or operations with any Hadoop component or tool managed through a central administration tool. It standardizes authorization methods across all Hadoop components and enhances support for various authorization strategies, including role-based access control, thereby ensuring a robust security framework. By doing so, it significantly strengthens the overall security posture of organizations leveraging Hadoop technologies.
