    Description

      If a directory under an FSO bucket does not contain any subfiles/directories - set the recursive flag for Ranger#getAcl call to false.

      Scenario:

      Ranger Policy 1:

       

      Key Resource Permission User
      dir1/dir11, dir1/dir11/ Read, Write, Delete user2

       

      Ranger Policy 2:

      Key Resource Permission User
      dir* Read, Write, Delete user1

       

      Case:

      1) user2 has created a directory dir1/dir11. Since the explicit policy defined for user2, it will successfully create the directories.

      2) user1 has recursive permission, he can create any dirs under " dir* ". Say, user1 created a file under directory "dir1/dir11/file".

      3) user2 issues recursive delete on "dir1/dir11". (Recursive flag is sent to Ranger from internal Ozone call).

      $ kinit user2
      $ ozone fs -rm -R skipTrash o3fs://fso-buycket.vol1.fso-bucket/dir1/dir11

       

      Expected Result:

      Fail to delete directory.

      Actual Result:

      Permission denied by Ranger.

       

      Comments:

      • Since there is no permission for user2 with policy key resource dir*, Ranger is denying permission for users as access is not determined. Ranger has taken a conservative approach against all the defined policy paths irrespective of the given user who issues the recursive delete operation.
      • Since there is a file under "dir1/dir11", we shouldn't allow this directory to be deleted, otherwise, this will lead to data loss.

      Impact:

      user2 will never be able to delete "dir1/dir11" since Ozone is always sending the recursive flag to the Ranger plugin - which is undesirable.

      Solution:

      If no child exists under "dir1/dir11" then set the recursive flag to False and invoke Ranger#checkAcl.

      Cost:

      There will be an additional getChildren call on both DirectoryTable and FileTable at the Ozone side. Each of these would be a deterministic time call to RocksDB.
