The repo provides reference architecture to deploy Apache Ranger on Amazon EMR. Apache Ranger is a framework to enable, monitor, and manage comprehensive data security across the Hadoop platform. Features include centralized security administration, fine-grained authorization across many Hadoop components (eg - Hadoop, Hive, HBase, Storm, Knox, Solr, Kafka, and YARN) and central auditing. It uses agents to sync policies and users, and plugins that run within the same process as the Hadoop component, like NameNode and HiveServer2.
The repo contains code tied to AWS Big Data Blog.
NOTE: the code has gone through unit and functional test against a few recent versions of Amazon EMR. It is likely that it may not work with all EMR versions. Code/plugin marked as beta has not been suitable for production use.

WARNING: The current V1 setup does not enable strong cluster level Auth (Kerberos) for EMR. Only LDAP enabled Hue UI. V2 will support Kerberos - refer to the roadmap for details.
Shows how the plugin can be used to enable column level access controls, column masking and row filter. Demo uses the Presto Redshift connector. The same functionality should work with other Presto connectors.
