Why is Apache Ranger called Ranger ?
Hi All,
I have recently joined the list and interested in project Ranger. I was
curious to know why Apache Ranger is called Ranger?
I believe it was formerly called Apache Argus. What were the motivations of
the name change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Asif Abbasi

Hi Asif Abbasi:
There were few other products (non-Apache) seems to be using the name Argus.
That caused the team to select an alternate name, Ranger .
