["Rohit Sinha (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-979?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15719114#comment-15719114 ] 

Rohit Sinha commented on RANGER-979:
------------------------------------

[~jonesn]: Apologizes for the the delay in response. I was unaware that Atlas support managing metadata through Kafka. I read some documentation about it here: http://atlas.incubator.apache.org/Architecture.html Looks like I will be able to leverage this. Although, I don't like the idea of going through another Kafka -> Atlas -> Ranger. Is there any need or advantage of bringing in metadata privileges in Ranger through Atlas ?

> A lot of external services which are integrated to use Ranger or can be integrated to use ranger as authorization provider uses Kafka to publish their tags/metadata. 
> One of such services for example is CDAP (Cask Data Application Platform) which emits tags to kafka.
> It will be a nice feature to support tagsync from Kafka to allow such external services to use the nice tag based  authorization model of ranger.
