Fine-Grained Authorization with Apache Kudu and Impala
-
Apache Impala supports fine-grained authorization via Apache Sentry on all of the tables it manages including Apache Kudu tables. Given Impala is a very common way to access the data stored in Kudu, this capability allows users deploying Impala and Kudu to fully secure the Kudu data in multi-tenant clusters even though Kudu does not yet have native fine-grained authorization of its own. This solution works because Kudu natively supports coarse-grained (all or nothing) authorization which enables blocking all access to Kudu directly except for the impala user and an optional whitelist of other trusted users.
