A question on RangerConfiguration object in Ranger-Admin

[Abhay Kulkarni <ak...@hortonworks.com>]

All ranger developers,

Which .xml files are used to initialize configuration properties for ranger-admin process? I put my configuration property in ranger-admin-site.xml, but it was not picked up by the following code executing in ranger-admin JVM ( 'url' variable  was null after the call).

String url               = RangerConfiguration.getInstance().get(propertyPrefix + ".policy.rest.url");

Any pointers, help will be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

Abhay,

RangerConfiguration handles only the configuration files used in plugins
(ranger-<type>-security.xml and ranger-<type>-audit.xml). Use of
RangerConfiguration in ranger-admin would require updating its
implementation, for example by adding a method
addResourcesForRangerAdmin() - which should be called during
initialization of ranger-admin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Madhan
