[jira] [Comment Edited] (RANGER-1168) Add data masking for tag based policies

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15953873#comment-15953873 ]

------------------------------------------------------------------

+1 for the enhancement to support tag-based masking policy.

However, I am not sure how useful it would be to support row-filtering based on tags - given the filter expression would most likely to be dependent on the schema of the table. I would suggest we study this in more detail with few usecases and track it via a separate JIRA.

> Currently in Hive its possible to create tag based policies. For example a policy can prevent a user from accessing data in a column tagged as sensitive - with that classification likely coming from Apache Atlas.
> In order to support the principle of applying a policy to a classification rather than an actual resort, we should extend Ranger & in particular the plugins such as hive to allow tag based policies to support
>  - data masking
>  - row filtering
> I believe this is important to support the principle of Apache Atlas being used to centrally manage metadata & the classification of resources
