Apache Sentry: Enterprise Security for Hadoop

Deploying enterprise grade security for Hadoop with Apache Sentry (incubating).

Apache Hive is deployed in the vast majority of Hadoop use cases despite the major practical flaws in it's most secure operational mode (Kerberos + User Impersonation).

In this talk we will discuss these flaws and how Apache Sentry addresses them. We will then enable Apache Sentry on a existing cluster. Additional topics will include Hadoop security and Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
