Description
Hello,
Our organization is working on integrating and rolling out Apache Ranger for our internal toolset, and firstly, we'd like to thank you all for your great work!
Although we have decided to adopt Ranger, for a variety of reasons we would very much like to use an alternate indexing service (Elasticsearch) in preference to the currently-supported Solr.
We are happy to develop this extension on our own, and the initial efforts are underway at https://github.com/acharneski/ranger/pull/1 however we would like to engage the community for guidance and suggestions with the aim of getting this change merged into the main codebase when it is ready.
Our initial approach is in three main phases:
- Isolate all usages of Solr packages/classes to pass through an API wrapper, delegating to the original Solr code with minimal changes. (Dev complete)
- Refactor api package as a pluggable interface with greater simplicity and implementation agnosticism.
- Provide alternate implementation for the new interface for Elasticsearch.
Any guidance and feedback is appreciated. Thank you for reading!
