Description

To make it easier to integrate with new components, Ranger should support a plugin approach that enables component integration without having to know/touch internal details of Ranger. The plugin writer should be able to describe the component, for example via XML/JSON, to enable Ranger to render necessary UI to create/update security policies and also evaluate the policies to make security decisions and auditing.
