[jira] [Commented] (RANGER-1454) Support of Atlas GAF OMAS

["Nigel Jones (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1454?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16150546#comment-16150546 ] 

Nigel Jones commented on RANGER-1454:
-------------------------------------

The assumption in this Jira is that the existing Ranger REST API remains as it is today. These changes to support new Atlas APIs are initially focussed only at getting tagsync working properly with the new data model & approach to classifications.

Once in place, since the Atlas Governance Engine OMAS api is consumer centric, it is intended purely for enforcement engines such as ranger, and therefore the Atlas can can extend as needed to improve integration with ranger. Better fine grained notifications from atlas to ranger may also make it easier to update policies more quickly, but would require other changes in ranger.

> A new v2 glossary capability is proposed for Atlas in ATLAS-1410.
> As part of this the glossary model becomes more sophisticated. In order to preserve the current simple tag(trait type):parms(trait instance)-entity relationship a new tagsync process will be developed that makes use of a new API proposed in ATLAS-1662. This would be an alternative to the current one so that existing users could continue unaffected, and a change is only required if moving to the v2 glossary implementation
> This will also allow the process of retrieving tags to be more efficient, and this new API can form a consumer-centric interface to support multiple enforcement technologies, including, but not restricted to, Ranger.
