Hi,
I am working on a project where data is coming from various input sources for multiple countries. We wish to arrange and store the data first sourcewise then countrywise in directories in HDFS as below:
SRC1–> US,
SRC1–>UK
SRC2–>US
SRC2–>UK
After doing this, we want to provide authorisation of UK users to be able to access the data only in UK folders in both SRC1,SRC2, US users to access only US data in both SRC1,SRC2 and so on… we also want to make sure that only the right group has access to right folder even from PIG and HIVE.
I read that authorisation can be provided using ACL’s , can you please show light on the same and any other way to do it in HDP2.1? I am very new to security aspect, Kerberos etc.
I also heard that KNOX can only work with REST API(which is web interfaces) so can KNOX be of any use if user want to access data using CLI, HIVE,PIG?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag Ranjeet
