Apache Ranger Description
Apache Ranger™, a framework that enables, monitors and manages comprehensive data security across Hadoop's platform, is called Apache Ranger. Ranger's goal is to provide complete security across the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. Apache YARN has made it possible to create a data lake architecture on Hadoop. Multi-tenant environments allow enterprises to run multiple workloads. Hadoop data security must evolve to support multiple use-cases for data access. It also provides a framework for central administration and monitoring of user access. All security-related tasks can be managed centrally through a UI or REST APIs using central security administration. Fine-grained authorization to perform a specific action or operation with a Hadoop component/tool. This is managed through a central admin tool. Standardize authorization methods across all Hadoop components. Enhanced support for different authorization methods, such as Role-based access control, etc.
