[ANNOUNCE] Apache Ranger - Python client

[Madhan Neethiraj <ma...@apache.org>]

All,

 

Official Python client for Apache Ranger is now available at PyPi.org here. Python client APIs mirror Apache Ranger REST APIs, and enable administration of Apache Ranger using Python.

 

Here is a sample usage to create a service and a policy using Python client:

 

from apache_ranger.model.ranger_service import RangerService

from apache_ranger.client.ranger_client import RangerClient

from apache_ranger.model.ranger_policy  import RangerPolicy, RangerPolicyResource, RangerPolicyItem, RangerPolicyItemAccess

 

service_name = 'dev_hive'

 

service = RangerService(name=service_name, type='hive')

service.configs = {'username':'hive', 'password':'hive', 'jdbc.driverClassName': 'org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver', 'jdbc.url': 'jdfb:hive2://ranger-hadoop:10000', 'hadoop.security.authorization': 'true'}

 

policy = RangerPolicy(service=service_name, name='test policy')

policy.resources = {'database': RangerPolicyResource(['test_db']), 'table': RangerPolicyResource(['test_tbl']), 'column': RangerPolicyResource(['*'])}

policy.policyItems.append(RangerPolicyItem(users=['admin'], accesses=[RangerPolicyItemAccess('create'), RangerPolicyItemAccess('alter'), RangerPolicyItemAccess('drop')], delegateAdmin=True))

policy.denyPolicyItems.append(RangerPolicyItem(users=['admin'], accesses=[RangerPolicyItemAccess('select')]))

 

 

ranger_client   = RangerClient('http://localhost:6080', 'admin', 'rangerR0cks!')

created_service = ranger_client.create_service(service)

created_policy  = ranger_client.create_policy(policy)

 

Apache Ranger team is updating the documentation to include details of Python APIs.

 

Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks,

Madhan
