## Description:
Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role
based authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop
Cluster.
## Issues:
Waiting for Infra to give committers/PMCs website permissions
## Activity:
Community is doing post graduation activities: Moved most of the infrastructure. Roster, LDAP and board documents are upto date. New PMCs are subscribing to private@. Final website/wiki edits pending.
Conferences/ BlogPosts: Community was part of the Hadoop security tutorial at Strata covering Authorization in Hadoop. We also did a blogpost on Apache post graduation summarizing the community and project developments.
Development: Following are the major buckets of work going on in the community:
Kafka integration
Improvements to HDFS Sentry sync
Hive Auth V2
Solr Integration improvements
Refactoring to make integrations easy and quick.
Quality improvements: Bug fixes, test improvements.
