As data stewards and security teams provide broader access to their organization’s data lake environments, having a centralized way to manage fine-grained access policies becomes increasingly important. Alluxio can use Apache Ranger’s centralized access policies in two ways: 1) directly controlling access to virtual paths in the Alluxio virtual file system or 2) enforcing existing access policies for the HDFS under stores. This presentation discusses how the Alluxio virtual filesystem can be integrated with Apache Ranger.
