Description

When using Ranger to support authorization an option to log auditing information to HDFS can be supported. The RangerNiFiAuthorizer should be prepared to communicate with a hadoop cluster in order to support this feature. In it's current implementation the authorizer does not have the hadoop-client jars available as a dependency nor does it support the ability to refer to the required *.site.xml files in order to communicate without using the default configuration. Both of these changes are needed in order to send audit info to HDFS.
