Sentry
Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role
based authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop
cluster.
Sentry has been incubating since 2013-08-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
- Encourage more feature and direction discussions on the dev list rather than jira.
- Continue reporting on time
- Improve release schedules
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
- Community has fixed all the issues raised except for the ongoing efforts mentioned in the previous section.
- Community has released Sentry 1.5.1 after fixing the earlier release issues.
- Making project direction more visible: Created a roadmap page on wiki, so that there is one place every one can see what is community working on or aspiring to work on
- Project is now doing monthly reporting
How has the community developed since the last report?
- We had 73 messages on dev list last month. (Got number from http://markmail.org/list/org.apache.sentry.dev)
How has the project developed since the last report?
About 42 issues were created and about 46 resolved(Numbers from jira).
Date of last release:
2015-07-14
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
Colin Ma, Dapeng Sun, Guoquan Shen and Xiaomeng Huang were added as committers on 12/24/2014. No new PPMC members have been added since the project has entered the incubator.
