[jira] [Commented] (IMPALA-10272) LOAD DATA should respect Ranger-HDFS policies

["Quanlong Huang (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Quanlong Huang commented on IMPALA-10272:
-----------------------------------------

Sorry for my late reply. I just missed this..

I think we need to modify testdata/bin/run-mini-dfs.sh to launch NameNode with Ranger authz enabled (IMPALA-11217). Then we can add an end-to-end test.

> [~thundergun] reported an issue that analyzing a LOAD DATA statement fails in checking  access to the source file while a Ranger HDFS policy actually exists to allow the access. Impala only loads the permissions from HDFS and check accesses by itself. Related codes: https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/ee4043e1a0940ae5711c68336d1ad522631d0e35/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/analysis/LoadDataStmt.java#L195-L206
> When Ranger authorization is enabled, this could be wrong if the HDFS permissions is more restrict than the Ranger policies. According to the Ranger document: [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57901344#RangerUserGuide(workinprogress)-HDFSPolicycreation]
> {quote}when the NameNode receives a user request, the Ranger Plugin checks for policies set through the Ranger Policy Manager. Then, if there are no policies authorizing the request, the Ranger plugin checks for permissions set in HDFS.
> {quote}
> We currently don't have an embeded ranger-hdfs plugin to check this locally. For a quick fix, I think when Ranger authz is enabled, we can check the access using {{FileSystem#access(Path path, FsAction mode)}} to invoke a NameNode RPC to respect Ranger-HDFS policies.
