Analyzing Hadoop Metrics for security using Hive

Author of the first book on Hadoop security (Practical Hadoop Security (http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Hadoop-Security-Bhushan-Lakhe/dp/1430265442/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421862512&sr=8-1&keywords=Bhushan+Lakhe)) is going to talk to us on the use of Hadoop metrics for security analysis.

Speaker: Bhushan Lakhe (https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=1108313&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=Yl33&locale=en_US&trk=tyah2&trkInfo=tarId%3A1421862679882%2Ctas%3ABhushan%20%2Cidx%3A1-1-1)

Abstract

Sudden changes in any of the major system resources, such as available memory, CPU, or storage for your Hadoop cluster may indicate a possible security issue. Hadoop provides Metrics for monitoring these resources and automated scripts can be developed to output specific metrics to files and add them as partitions for appropriate Hive tables. In this talk, I will demonstrate how this historical data (stored as Hive tables) can be used for generating security alerts by defining variation thresholds. These alerts can be configured to perform specific actions (such as emailing the sysadmin etc.).
