             Summary: Remove Kafka Dependency Exclusion from ranger-plugins-audit in Impala FE pom.xml
                 Key: IMPALA-13112
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13112
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: fe
    Affects Versions: Impala 4.4.0, Impala 4.3.0, Impala 4.1.2, Impala 4.1.1, Impala 4.2.0, Impala 4.1.0
            Reporter: woosuk.ro


h4. Background:

Previously, Impala removed the Kafka dependency from the {{ranger-plugins-audit}} module due to conflicts with the JAX-RS package. This conflict resulted in errors like {{{}java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/ws/rs/core/Link$Builder{}}}. Relevant commits include:
 # [Commit a1f4a849cf1c4f51e0acc737c7da166651645870|https://github.com/apache/impala/commit/a1f4a849cf1c4f51e0acc737c7da166651645870]
 # [Commit f85dbff97618066d60f37736808c8c24aa0a98e5|https://github.com/apache/impala/commit/f85dbff97618066d60f37736808c8c24aa0a98e5]

These commits addressed the issue by excluding all Kafka dependencies to avoid JAX-RS version conflicts, specifically related to {{kafka_2.11}} and later {{{}kafka_2.12{}}}.
h4. Current Situation:

Recent tests indicate that the latest version of {{kafka-clients-2.8.1.jar}} used by Apache Ranger no longer causes the previous JAX-RS conflicts. Therefore, we propose to remove the exclusion of Kafka dependencies from {{ranger-plugins-audit}} in Impala's {{{}pom.xml{}}}. This change is necessary to utilize Ranger's {{{}kafkaAuditProvider{}}}, which requires Kafka clients.
h4. Proposal:

Modify the {{pom.xml}} file in Impala FE to remove the Kafka dependency exclusion from {{{}ranger-plugins-audit{}}}. This update will re-enable the Kafka-based audit logging capabilities in Ranger, which is essential for comprehensive audit logging.
