On-Demand Recordings from PrestoCon’s, Webinars, Meetups, and more
Don Bosco Durai who is the founding member of the project Apache Ranger will do a quick show and tell on how to do fine grain authorization using Apache Ranger in PrestoDB.
Presto is a popular distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries. Presto provides a Connector API that allows plugins to dozens of data sources, and thus positions itself as a single point of access to a wide variety of data. At Uber, we significantly improved Presto’s Kafka connector to meet Uber’s scale. For example, the new connector allows dynamic Kafka cluster and topic discovery so users can directly query existing Kafka topics without any registration and onboarding process; dynamic schema discovery allows fetching the latest schema without any Presto restart or deployment; smart time range suggestions to users based on Kafka metadata analysis to avoid large-range scans and thus keep the query interactive.
Apache Ranger has been the user’s choice to support authorization in various data platforms from small-scale to enterprise-grade production environments. At Ahana, engineers are working on the Presto-Ranger integration, aiming to support global fine-grained data access control across all catalogs for Presto, while also providing auditing and monitoring of user access. We would like to collaborate with the Privacera and share our learnings, what we developed so far, and also hope to shed light on the future work of the Ranger Presto Plugin with Apache Ranger committer.
