Integrating Sentry
Integrate Sentry with other ecosystem components to enable those components to use Sentry authorization. You can also integrate Sentry with Hue in order to use the Hue Security application to manage Sentry privileges and roles.
IMPORTANT This component is deprecated. Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommends using an alternate product. For more information, see Discontinued Ecosystem Components.
IMPORTANT MapR officially supports Sentry
with Impala, Hive, Sqoop2, and Hue only if you buy Impala support and
configure Impala to use Sentry.
You can configure Sentry to provide authorization in the following scenarios:
Sentry Version | Sentry Storage Mode | Component Integration |
---|---|---|
1.6.0 | Database | Impala 2.2.0 and Hive 1.2.1 |
1.6.0 | Database | Sqoop2 |
1.6.0 | File-Based | Impala 2.2.0 and Hive 1.2.1 |
1.4.0 | File-Based | Impala 1.4.1 and Hive 0.13 |
NOTE
- When you configure Impala to use Sentry authorization, both Impala and Hive must use Sentry for authorization management. Also, impersonation cannot be enabled for Hive.
- For clusters with Hive but not Impala, authorization can be implemented using Hive’s native authorization mechanisms;Sentry is not needed.
