[jira] [Updated] (SENTRY-2189) Static Attribute Ingestion

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Liam Sargent updated SENTRY-2189:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Static (file-based) attribute provider for Sentry ABAC.

Attributes are string "tags" used to define a feature of the data which may require additional access control steps for security and compliance.

Since Sentry already provides role-based access control, we must be able to define actions to take on data objects based on attribute/role combinations.

This relationship can be modeled and effectively leveraged at query time with a specialized bidirectional map object providing low latency lookup between Attribute and Object, and vice versa.

Attribute->Object definitions will be provided as a JSON object, or as JSON delta updates to existing definitions. This implementation will parse the definitions into the specialized Java object to provide near-O(1) lookup from Attribute-> Object, and from Object -> Attribute associations.

Static (file-based) attribute provider for Sentry ABAC.

Attributes are string "tags" used to define a feature of the data which may require additional access control steps for security and compliance.

Since Sentry already provides role-based access control, we must be able to define actions to take on data objects based on attribute/role combinations.

For instance, a column marked with the attribute "Sensitive Data" may be visible to someone with "ROLE_ADMIN", but needs to be NULLed for someone with the the role "SALES", etc. This relationship can be modeled and effectively leveraged at query time with a specialized bidirectional map object providing low latency lookup between Attribute/Role and Object/Action, and vice versa.

Attribute/Role->Object/Action definitions will be provided as a JSON object, or as JSON delta updates to existing definitions. This implementation will parse the definitions into the specialized Java object to provide near-O(1) lookup from Attribute/Role -> Object/Action, and from Object -> Attribute/Role associations.
