JIRA : SQOOP-1834 and its sub tickets, SQOOP-2048 and its sub tickets

Problem

Sqoop 2 needs a pluggable role based access controller (RBAC), which is responsible for the authorization to Sqoop 2 resources, such as server, connector, link, job, submission etc.

Basic Idea

• The access controller is pluggable

...

Resource, actions and rules

Server has three children: Connector, Link, Job.

• It is a hierarchy mode. If a user has the privilege of {server, all}, then he/she has all privileges of {connector, all}, {link, all} and {job, all}.
• If a user has the privilege of {job, all}, then he/she has both privileges of {job, read} and {job, write}.
• If a user want to create a link, then he/she need to have the privilege of {server, create}

Authorization framework

...

#org.apache.sqoop.authorization.handler=org.apache.sqoop.security.DefaultAuthorizationHandler
#org.apache.sqoop.authorization.controller=org.apache.sqoop.security.DefaultAccessController
#org.apache.sqoop.authorization.validator=org.apache.sqoop.security.DefaultAuthorizationValidator

Image RemovedImage Added

• Three Four metadata classes.
  • Role
  • principalPrinciple
    • This class defines user or group.
    • Type: user, group, role.
    • Principle principal could be granted a role. i.e. if we want to grant a admin role to user hadoop, then grantRole (principle principal (name=hadoop, type=user), role (name=admin)).
  • Resource
    • This class defines four resources in Sqoop 2.
    • Type: server, connector, link, job, submission.
  • Privilege
    
    • Action: createall, view, update, delete, use, enable, disableread, write.
    • with_grant_option: boolean, defines whether the role could grant this privilege to other role.

Image Modified

• Five classes will be added into Sqoop-core as org.apache.sqoop.security package.
  • AuthorizationManager
    • Similar with other Sqoop Manager, ie. ConnectorManager, RepositoryManager, etc., the AuthorizationManager handles two singleton instances, AuthorizationManager and AuthorizationHandler.
    • The initialize function is run when starting the Sqoop server
    • The initialize function will initial AuthorizationHandler, according to the handler name (DefaultAuthorizationhandler or SentryAuthorizationHandler) from configuration file (sqoop.properties).
  • AuthorizationHandlerFactory
    • It is a factory design mode.
    • It is to use ClassUtils.loadClass to refact the real AuthorizationHandler in getAuthorizationHandler function.
  • AuthorizationHandler
    • It is an abstract class.
    • There is a default implementation (DefaultAuthorizationHandler) in Sqoop-security component.
    • It handles two singleton instances, AccessController and AuthorizationValidator.
    • All function will be delegated to these two instances to handle. AccessController to handle grantRole, revokeRole, grantPrivilege and revokePrivilege. AuthorizationValidator to handle checkPrivilege.
  • AccessController
    • It is an abstract class.
    • There is a default implementation (DefaultAccessController) in Sqoop-security component.
    • This class is responsible to manage roles, privileges.
  • AuthorzationValidator
    • It is an abstract class.
    • There is a default implementation (DefaultAuthorizationValidator) in Sqoop-security component.
    • This class is responsible to check privileges.
• Three classes will be added into Sqoop-security as org.apache.sqoop.security package.
  • DefaultAuthorizationHandler
    • This class extends abstract AuthorizationHandler.
    • It handles two singleton instances, DefaultAccessController and DefaultAuthorizationValidator.
  • DefaultAccessController
    • This class extends abstract AccessController.
  • Default AuthorzationValidator
    • This class extends abstract AuthorizationValidator.
    • As default/simple implementation, it always returns true and will not check the privilege actually.

Image Modified

• All functions in RequestHandler, which handles all requests, ie. create link, will be added privilege validation check.

...

• Privilege check request will be analyzed by AuthorizationEngine.

@OverrideOverride
public void createLinkPrivilige() throws SqoopAccessControlException {
	List<Principle> principles;
	principles    List<Privilege> privileges;
    privileges.add(new PrinciplePrivilege(new Resource("Link", "1"), "Create", null));
	principles    privileges.add(new PrinciplePrivilege(new Resource("Connector", "Use"1"), "Read", null));
    AuthorizationManager.getAuthenticationHandler.checkPrivileges(principlesprivileges);
}

• Privilege check will be passed to real AccessController from AuthorizationHandler.

@Override
public void checkPrivileges(List<Principle>List<principal> principlesprincipals) throws SqoopAccessControlException {
    authValidator.checkPrivileges(principlesprincipals);
}

  Command line tool

• The grant/revoke privilege should be run in command line in Sqoop client
• The commands are showed below

Sentry implementation

Image Modified

• Config in sqoop.properties

...

• Use Sentry to check access privilege
• Set access privilege using hue (optional)

Database design

Image Modified

• Role table
  • Id
  • Name
  • Comment
    • Role name could be admin, developer, user, etc.
• Role_User_Group table
  • Id
  • Role_id
  • User_name
  • Group_name
  • Comment
    • The information of user and group comes from Linux or LDAP etc.
    • Only one of user name and group name is set. If user name is set and leave group name empty, it means that this user has this rule. If group name is set and leave user name empty, it means that all users in this group has this rule.
    • One user/group could have one or multiple roles.
• Privilege table
  • Id
  • Role_id
  • Resource_id
  • Resource_type
  • Action_type
  • Comment
    • Resource type could be the existing resource table, such as connector, link, job, submission, etc.
    • Resource type could be added in the future, say config etc.
    • If resource_id is 0, it means all resource of this type, ie. resource_id=0 and resource_type=link means all links.
    • Use resource id and resource type to identify the resource, ie. resource_id=1 and resource_type=link means the resource of “select * from link where id =1”.
    • Action type could be read, create, update, delete, use etc.
• Accordingly, MRole, MRoleUserGroup and MPrivilege classes are added into package org.apache.sqoop.model.
