             Summary: Create Ranger plugin for gaiandb
                 Key: RANGER-1488
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1488
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: plugins
            Reporter: Nigel Jones


GaianDB is a distributed, federated database built on Apache Derby.
The documentation is at https://github.com/gaiandb/gaiandb/blob/master/README.md - navigate up for the source.

As part of a Virtual Connector Project based on Atlas we are using gaianDB to provide a virtualization layer. We need to control access to underlying resources and will be building a Ranger plugin for gaiandb to support this. GaianDB already has support for a form of policy plugin which allows the SQL to be intercepted.

It is unclear if this code will sit
 - external to ranger/atlas ie in the gaianDB sources
 - as a sample in the Atlas project (so that we collate what is needed for the virtual connector project)
 - as a sample, or component in the Ranger project

However it seems helpful to describe the proposal here and get feedback/dialogue in the ranger community :-)

I just thought I'd follow up this a little explanation for anyone 
interested.

I'm just starting to write a plugin for this technology so don't be 
surprised if I come back here with some questions ;-).

Would the community be ameniable to including additional ranger plugins 
within the main ranger project? For now I've started prototyping 
something in github, but as it evolves it would be super if we could do 
this :-)

This is part of a "VirtualDataConnector" project we've started talking 
about in the Apache Atlas community & I recently presented on at the 
DataWorks conference

GaianDB is an open source database virtualization layer (links in the 
jira) based on Apache Derby, and I'm planning on using Ranger to control 
access, managing masking, filtering etc, with the classifications etc of 
course coming from Atlas :-)
