Apache Sentry Description

Apache Sentry™ serves as a robust system for implementing detailed role-based authorization for both data and metadata within a Hadoop cluster environment. Achieving Top-Level Apache project status after graduating from the Incubator in March 2016, Apache Sentry is recognized for its effectiveness in managing granular authorization. It empowers users and applications to have precise control over access privileges to data stored in Hadoop, ensuring that only authenticated entities can interact with sensitive information. Compatibility extends to a range of frameworks, including Apache Hive, Hive Metastore/HCatalog, Apache Solr, Impala, and HDFS, though its primary focus is on Hive table data. Designed as a flexible and pluggable authorization engine, Sentry allows for the creation of tailored authorization rules that assess and validate access requests for various Hadoop resources. Its modular architecture increases its adaptability, making it capable of supporting a diverse array of data models within the Hadoop ecosystem. This flexibility positions Sentry as a vital tool for organizations aiming to manage their data security effectively.
