Module Description

This puppet module installs and setup Apache Sentry - system for enforcing fine grained role based authorization to data and metadata stored on a Hadoop cluster.

Setup

What sentry affects

  • Alternatives:
  • sentry-conf
  • Files:
  • /etc/sentry/conf/sentry-site.xml
  • JDBC jars in /usr/lib/sentry/lib (if needed)
  • startup skript: workaround for packaging error (tested with Cloudera CDH 5.4.7)
  • Packages: sentry, sentry-store
  • Services: sentry-store

Setup Requirements

  • repositories set
  • Java JRE installed
  • Hadoop cluster with enabled Kerberos security
  • for Hive: security enabled (Hive Server 2: LDAP or Kerberos, Hive Metastore: Kerberos)
  • for Impala: security enabled (Kerberos or LDAP)

Usage

Basic usage

include ::sentry
include ::sentry::client
include ::sentry::server

Sentry with MySQL

class{'::sentry':
  db          => 'mysql',
  db_password => 'sentrypassword',
}

node default {
  include ::sentry::client
  include ::sentry::server

  class { 'mysql::server':
    root_password  => 'strongpassword',
  }

  mysql::db { 'sentry':
    user     => 'sentry',
    password => 'sentrypassword',
    host     => 'localhost',
    grant    => ['ALTER', 'CREATE', 'SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE'],
  }

  class { 'mysql::bindings':
    java_enable => true,
  }

  Mysql::Db['sentry'] -> Class['::sentry::server::config']
  Class['mysql::bindings'] -> Class['::sentry::server::config']
}

Sentry with PostgreSQL

class{'::sentry':
  db          => 'postgresql',
  db_password => 'sentrypassword',
}

node default {
  include ::sentry::client
  include ::sentry::server

  class { 'postgresql::server':
    postgres_password  => 'strongpassword',
  }

  postgresql::server::db { 'sentry':
    user     => 'sentry',
    password => postgresql_password('sentry', 'sentrypassword'),
  }

  include postgresql::lib::java

  Postgresql::Server::Db['sentry'] -> Class['::sentry::server::config']
  Class['postgresql::lib::java'] -> Class['::sentry::server::config']
}
