An Introduction to Ranger RMS
Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) supports access controls on tables and columns, as well as on files and directories via Apache Ranger since its first release. It is common to have different workloads using the same data – some require authorizations at the table level (Apache Hive queries) and others at the underlying files (Apache Spark jobs). Unfortunately, in such instances you would have to create and maintain separate Ranger policies for both Hive and HDFS, that correspond to each other.
