Description

As components of the hadoop ecosystem implement security (Kerberos in HDFS, Zookeeper, etc.) connecting to these resources requires similar capabilities. Candidates for securing include:

1. Configurable/pluggable authentication for Blur Thrift connections.
2. Configurable/pluggable authentication/authorization for Blur calls.
3. Configurable/pluggable authentication/authorization for ZooKeeper calls.
4. Configurable/pluggable authentication/authorization for Hadoop calls.

Sub-Tasks

• Allow for SASL ZooKeeper setup: Open
• Allow for secure HDFS setup: Open
