+<h2>Operationalizing Falcon<a name="Operationalizing_Falcon"></a></h2></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Overview<a name="Overview"></a></h3>
+<p>Apache Falcon provides various tools to operationalize Falcon consisting of Alerts for unrecoverable errors, Audits of user actions, Metrics, and Notifications. They are detailed below.</p>
+<p>++ Lineage</p>
+<p>Currently Lineage has no way to access or restore information about entity instances created during the time lineage was disabled. Information about entities however, is preserved and bootstrapped when lineage is enabled. If you have to reset the graph db then you can delete the graph db files as specified in the startup.properties and restart the falcon. Please note: you will loose all the information about the instances if you delete the graph db.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Monitoring<a name="Monitoring"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon provides monitoring of various events by capturing metrics of those events. The metric numbers can then be used to monitor performance and health of the Falcon system and the entire processing pipelines.</p>
+<p>Falcon also exposes <a class="externalLink" href="https://github.com/thinkaurelius/titan/wiki/Titan-Performance-and-Monitoring">metrics for titandb</a></p>
+<p>Users can view the logs of these events in the metric.log file, by default this file is created under ${user.dir}/logs/ directory. Users may also extend the Falcon monitoring framework to send events to systems like Mondemand/lwes by implementingorg.apache.falcon.plugin.MonitoringPlugin interface.</p>
+<p>The following events are captured by Falcon for logging the metrics:</p>
+<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
+<li>New cluster definitions posted to Falcon (success & failures)</li>
+<li>New feed definition posted to Falcon (success & failures)</li>
+<li>New process definition posted to Falcon (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process update events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Feed update events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Cluster update events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process suspend events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Feed suspend events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process resume events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Feed resume events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process remove events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Feed remove events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Cluster remove events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process instance kill events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process instance re-run events (success & failures)</li>
+<li>Process instance generation events</li>
+<li>Process instance failure events</li>
+<li>Process instance auto-retry events</li>
+<li>Process instance retry exhaust events</li>
+<li>Feed instance deletion event</li>
+<li>Feed instance deletion failure event (no retries)</li>
+<li>Feed instance replication event</li>
+<li>Feed instance replication failure event</li>
+<li>Feed instance replication auto-retry event</li>
+<li>Feed instance replication retry exhaust event</li>
+<li>Feed instance late arrival event</li>
+<li>Feed instance post cut-off arrival event</li>
+<li>Process re-run due to late feed event</li>
+<li>Transaction rollback failed event</li></ol>
+<p>The metric logged for an event has the following properties:</p>
+<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
+<li>Action - Name of the event.</li>
+<li>Dimensions - A list of name/value pairs of various attributes for a given action.</li>
+<li>Status- Status of an action FAILED/SUCCEEDED.</li>
+<li>Time-taken - Time taken in nanoseconds for a given action.</li></ol>
+<p>An example for an event logged for a submit of a new process definition:</p>
+<p>2012-05-04 12:23:34,026 {Action:submit, Dimensions:{entityType=process}, Status: SUCCEEDED, Time-taken:97087000 ns}</p>
+<p>Users may parse the metric.log or capture these events from custom monitoring frameworks and can plot various graphs or send alerts according to their requirements.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Notifications<a name="Notifications"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon creates a JMS topic for every process/feed that is scheduled in Falcon. The implementation class and the broker url of the JMS engine are read from the dependent cluster's definition. Users may register consumers on the required topic to check the availability or status of feed instances.</p>
+<p>For a given process that is scheduled, the name of the topic is same as the process name. Falcon sends a Map message for every feed produced by the instance of a process to the JMS topic. The JMS MapMessage sent to a topic has the following properties: entityName, feedNames, feedInstancePath, workflowId, runId, nominalTime, timeStamp, brokerUrl, brokerImplClass, entityType, operation, logFile, topicName, status, brokerTTL;</p>
+<p>For a given feed that is scheduled, the name of the topic is same as the feed name. Falcon sends a map message for every feed instance that is deleted/archived/replicated depending upon the retention policy set in the feed definition. The JMS MapMessage sent to a topic has the following properties: entityName, feedNames, feedInstancePath, workflowId, runId, nominalTime, timeStamp, brokerUrl, brokerImplClass, entityType, operation, logFile, topicName, status, brokerTTL;</p>
+<p>The JMS messages are automatically purged after a certain period (default 3 days) by the Falcon JMS house-keeping service.TTL (Time-to-live) for JMS message can be configured in the Falcon's startup.properties file.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Alerts<a name="Alerts"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon generates alerts for unrecoverable errors into a log file by default. Users can view these alerts in the alerts.log file, by default this file is created under ${user.dir}/logs/ directory.</p>
+<p>Users may also extend the Falcon Alerting plugin to send events to systems like Nagios, etc. by extending org.apache.falcon.plugin.AlertingPlugin interface.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Audits<a name="Audits"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon audits all user activity and captures them into a log file by default. Users can view these audits in the audit.log file, by default this file is created under ${user.dir}/logs/ directory.</p>
+<p>Users may also extend the Falcon Audit plugin to send audits to systems like Apache Argus, etc. by extending org.apache.falcon.plugin.AuditingPlugin interface.</p></div>

+<h2>Falcon Recipes<a name="Falcon_Recipes"></a></h2></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Overview<a name="Overview"></a></h3>
+<p>A Falcon recipe is a static process template with parameterized workflow to realize a specific use case. Recipes are defined in user space. Recipes will not have support for update or lifecycle management.</p>
+<p>For example:</p>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>Replicating directories from one HDFS cluster to another (not timed partitions)</li>
+<li>Replicating hive metadata (database, table, views, etc.)</li>
+<li>Replicating between HDFS and Hive - either way</li>
+<li>Data masking etc.</li></ul></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Proposal<a name="Proposal"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon provides a Process abstraction that encapsulates the configuration for a user workflow with scheduling controls. All recipes can be modeled as a Process with in Falcon which executes the user workflow periodically. The process and its associated workflow are parameterized. The user will provide a properties file with name value pairs that are substituted by falcon before scheduling it. Falcon translates these recipes as a process entity by replacing the parameters in the workflow definition.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Falcon CLI recipe support<a name="Falcon_CLI_recipe_support"></a></h3>
+<p><a href="./FalconCLI.html">Recipe command usage is defined here.</a></p>
+<p>CLI accepts recipe option with a recipe name and optional tool and does the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Validates the options; name option is mandatory and tool is optional and should be provided if user wants to override the base recipe tool</li>
+<li>Looks for <name>-workflow.xml, <name>-template.xml and <name>.properties file in the path specified by falcon.recipe.path in client.properties. If files cannot be found then Falcon CLI will fail</li>
+<li>Invokes a Tool to substitute the properties in the templated process for the recipe. By default invokes base tool if tool option is not passed. Tool is responsible for generating process entity at the path specified by FalconCLI</li>
+<li>Validates the generated entity</li>
+<li>Submit and schedule this entity</li>
+<li>Generated process entity files are stored in tmp directory</li></ul></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Base Recipe tool<a name="Base_Recipe_tool"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon provides a base tool that recipes can override. Base Recipe tool does the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Expects recipe template file path, recipe properties file path and path where process entity to be submitted should be generated. Validates these arguments</li>
+<li>Validates the artifacts i.e. workflow and/or lib files specified in the recipe template exists on local filesystem or HDFS at the specified path else returns error</li>
+<li>Copies if the artifacts exists on local filesystem
+<ul>
+<li>If workflow is on local FS then falcon.recipe.workflow.path in recipe property file is mandatory for it to be copied to HDFS. If templated process requires custom libs falcon.recipe.workflow.lib.path property is mandatory for them to be copied from Local FS to HDFS. Recipe tool will copy the local artifacts only if these properties are set in properties file</li></ul></li>
+<li>Looks for the patten ##[A-Za-z0-9_.]*## in the templated process and substitutes it with the properties. Process entity generated after the substitution is written to the empty file passed by FalconCLI</li></ul></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Recipe template file format<a name="Recipe_template_file_format"></a></h3>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>Any templatized string should be in the format ##[A-Za-z0-9_.]*##.</li>
+<li>There should be a corresponding entry in the recipe properties file "falcon.recipe.<templatized-string> = <value to be substituted>"</li></ul>
+<div class="source">
+<pre>
+Example: If the entry in recipe template is <workflow name="##workflow.name##"> there should be a corresponding entry in the recipe properties file falcon.recipe.workflow.name=hdfs-dr-workflow
+
+</pre></div></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Recipe properties file format<a name="Recipe_properties_file_format"></a></h3>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>Regular key value pair properties file</li>
+<li>Property key should be prefixed by "falcon.recipe."</li></ul>
+<div class="source">
+<pre>
+Example: falcon.recipe.workflow.name=hdfs-dr-workflow
+Recipe template will have <workflow name="##workflow.name##">. Recipe tool will look for the patten ##workflow.name##
+and replace it with the property value "hdfs-dr-workflow". Substituted template will have <workflow name="hdfs-dr-workflow">
+
+</pre></div></div>

+<h2>Securing Falcon<a name="Securing_Falcon"></a></h2></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Overview<a name="Overview"></a></h3>
+<p>Apache Falcon enforces authentication and authorization which are detailed below. Falcon also provides transport level security ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Authentication (User Identity)<a name="Authentication_User_Identity"></a></h3>
+<p>Apache Falcon enforces authentication on protected resources. Once authentication has been established it sets a signed HTTP Cookie that contains an authentication token with the user name, user principal, authentication type and expiration time.</p>
+<p>It does so by using <a class="externalLink" href="./Http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-auth/index.html.html">Hadoop Auth</a>. Hadoop Auth is a Java library consisting of a client and a server components to enable Kerberos SPNEGO authentication for HTTP. Hadoop Auth also supports additional authentication mechanisms on the client and the server side via 2 simple interfaces.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4>Authentication Methods<a name="Authentication_Methods"></a></h4>
+<p>It supports 2 authentication methods, simple and kerberos out of the box.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h5>Pseudo/Simple Authentication<a name="PseudoSimple_Authentication"></a></h5>
+<p>Falcon authenticates the user by simply trusting the value of the query string parameter 'user.name'. This is the default mode Falcon is configured with.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h5>Kerberos Authentication<a name="Kerberos_Authentication"></a></h5>
+<p>Falcon uses HTTP Kerberos SPNEGO to authenticate the user.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h3>Authorization<a name="Authorization"></a></h3>
+<p>Falcon also enforces authorization on Entities using ACLs (Access Control Lists). ACLs are useful for implementing permission requirements and provide a way to set different permissions for specific users or named groups.</p>
+<p>By default, support for authorization is disabled and can be enabled in startup.properties.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4>ACLs in Entity<a name="ACLs_in_Entity"></a></h4>
+<p>All Entities now have ACL which needs to be present if authorization is enabled. Only owners who own or created the entity will be allowed to update or delete their entities.</p>
+<p>An entity has ACLs (Access Control Lists) that are useful for implementing permission requirements and provide a way to set different permissions for specific users or named groups.</p>
+<div class="source">
+<pre>
+ <ACL owner="test-user" group="test-group" permission="*"/>
+
+</pre></div>
+<p>ACL indicates the Access control list for this cluster. owner is the Owner of this entity. group is the one which has access to read. permission indicates the rwx is not enforced at this time.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4>Super-User<a name="Super-User"></a></h4>
+<p>The super-user is the user with the same identity as falcon process itself. Loosely, if you started the falcon, then you are the super-user. The super-user can do anything in that permissions checks never fail for the super-user. There is no persistent notion of who was the super-user; when the falcon is started the process identity determines who is the super-user for now. The Falcon super-user does not have to be the super-user of the falcon host, nor is it necessary that all clusters have the same super-user. Also, an experimenter running Falcon on a personal workstation, conveniently becomes that installation's super-user without any configuration.</p>
+<p>Falcon also allows users to configure a super user group and allows users belonging to this group to be a super user.</p>
+<p>ACL owner and group must be valid even if the authenticated user is a super-user.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4>Group Memberships<a name="Group_Memberships"></a></h4>
+<p>Once a user has been authenticated and a username has been determined, the list of groups is determined by a group mapping service, configured by the hadoop.security.group.mapping property in Hadoop. The default implementation, org.apache.hadoop.security.ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping, will shell out to the Unix bash -c groups command to resolve a list of groups for a user.</p>
+<p>Note that Falcon stores the user and group of an Entity as strings; there is no conversion from user and group identity numbers as is conventional in Unix.</p>
+<p>The only limitation is that a user cannot add a group in ACL that he does not belong to.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h4>Authorization Provider<a name="Authorization_Provider"></a></h4>
+<p>Falcon provides a plugin-able provider interface for Authorization. It also ships with a default implementation that enforces the following authorization policy.</p></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h5>Entity and Instance Management Operations Policy<a name="Entity_and_Instance_Management_Operations_Policy"></a></h5>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>All Entity and Instance operations are authorized for users who created them, Owners and users with group memberships</li>
+<li>Reference to entities with in a feed or process is allowed with out enforcing permissions</li></ul>
+<p>Any Feed or Process can refer to a Cluster entity not owned by the Feed or Process owner. Any Process can refer to a Feed entity not owned by the Process owner</p>
+<p>The authorization is enforced in the following way:</p>
+<p></p>
+<ul>
+<li>if admin resource,
+<ul>
+<li>If authenticated user name matches the admin users configuration</li>
+<li>Else if groups of the authenticated user matches the admin groups configuration</li>
+<li>Else authorization exception is thrown</li></ul></li>
+<li>Else if entities or instance resource
+<ul>
+<li>If the authenticated user matches the owner in ACL for the entity</li>
+<li>Else if the groups of the authenticated user matches the group in ACL for the entity</li>
+<li>Else authorization exception is thrown</li></ul></li>
+<li>Else if lineage resource
+<ul>
+<li>All have read-only permissions, reason being folks should be able to examine the dependency and allow reuse</li></ul></li></ul>
+<p>To authenticate user for REST api calls, user should append "user.name=<username>" to the query.</p>

+<ul>
+<li>delete the hadoop.auth cookie from browser cache.</li>
+<li>append query param "user.name=<new_user>" to the next REST API call.</li></ul>
+<p>In Kerberos method, the browser must support HTTP Kerberos SPNEGO.</p></div>
