Hadoop: Apache Sentry

Shreepadma Venugopalan - Software Engineer, Cloudera

Apache Hadoop offers strong support for authentication and coarse grained authorization - but this is not necessarily enough to meet the demands of enterprise applications and compliance requirements. Providing fine-grained access to data will enable organizations to store more sensitive information in Hadoop; only those users with the appropriate privileges will ever see that sensitive data.
Apache Sentry (incubating) is a new open source authorization module that integrates with Hadoop-based SQL query engines (Hive and Impala). In this talk, Shreepadma Venugopalan will provide details on its implementation, including:

• Motivations for the project

• Key requirements that Sentry satisfies

•Utilizing Sentry in your applications

•Future plans

Application Security with Apache Shiro

Apache Shiro is an easy to use security framework that supports authentication, access control, session management and cryptography in your JVM applications. It is used at international banks, stock exchanges, government agencies and every day web applications.

In this presentation, Les Hazlewod, Apache Shiro PMC Chair and Stormpath CTO will cover:

• What Apache Shiro is and why you might want to use it

• The core architectural concepts of the framework

• How to enable all four security cornerstones for any application (standalone, mobile phone, web based, etc)

• An overview of Shiro's innovative web app support and security filtering capabilities

Food and beer is provided, as always.
