Major Description
As discussed in the design document linked on SENTRY-2140, attributes and their mapping to columns are created and stored in an external system. In order for Sentry to make masking decisions based upon these attributes and mappings, this information must be ingested from the external system. The scope of this Jira is to :
- implement the generic extensible framework by which different external systems may contribute attributes (the specific details of the design are still under discussion on the parent Jira; whether there is a full plugin model implemented in Sentry or whether the ingestion process will run entirely external to Sentry and send the information to Sentry via Thrift API is not yet decided).
- Implement at least one default implementation (whether this will be an example implementation only for reference like a static text file or a full-featured implementation more suitable for production use is under discussion)
