Spark Authorizer provides you with SQL Standard Based Authorization for Apache Spark™ like SQL Standard Based Hive Authorization. While you are using Spark SQL or Dataset/DataFrame API to load data from tables embedded with Apache Hive™ metastore, this library provides row/column level fine-grained access controls with Apache Ranger™.
Security is one of fundamental features for enterprise adoption. Apache Ranger™ offers many security plugins for many Hadoop ecosystem components, such as HDFS, Hive, HBase, Solr and Sqoop2. However, Apache Spark™ is not counted in yet. When a secured HDFS cluster is used as a data warehouse accessed by various users and groups via different applications wrote by Spark and Hive, it is very difficult to guarantee data management in a consistent way. Apache Spark users visit data warehouse only with Storage based access controls offered by HDFS. This library shares Ranger Hive plugin with Hive to help Spark talking to Ranger Admin.
Spark Authorizer has been contributed to spark-packages.org, see @ https://spark-packages.org/package/yaooqinn/spark-authorizer
Include this package in your Spark Applications using: spark-shell, pyspark, or spark-submit

cp spark-authorizer-<version>.jar $SPARK_HOME/jars(only required when manually build this)- install ranger-hive-plugin for spark
- configure you
hive-site.xmland ranger configuration file, you may find an sample in[./conf]
The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:
bin/spark-shell --master yarn --proxy-user hzyaoqinSecondly, implement the Authorizer Rule to Spark's extra Optimizations.
import org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.optimizer.Authorizerspark.experimental.extraOptimizations ++= Seq(Authorizer)Check it out
scala> spark.experimental.extraOptimizations
res2: Seq[org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.rules.Rule[org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.plans.logical.LogicalPlan]] = List(org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.optimizer.Authorizer$@1196537d)Note that extra optimizations are appended to the end of all the inner optimizing rules. It's good for us to do authorization after column pruning.
Your may notice that it only shut the door for men with a noble character but leave the door open for the scheming ones.
To avoid that, I suggest you modify ExperimentalMethods.scala#L47 and Bulid Spark of your own.
@volatile var extraOptimizations: Seq[Rule[LogicalPlan]] = Nilto
@volatile val extraOptimizations: Seq[Rule[LogicalPlan]] = Seq(Authorizer)
Make extraOptimizations to a val to avoid reassignment.
Without modifying, you either control the spark session such as supplying a Thrift/JDBC Sever or hope for "Manner maketh Man"
We create a ranger policy as below:

Check Privilage with some simple cases.
Actually, user [hzyaoqin] should only see only one privileged database -- tpcds_10g_ext, this is not a bug, but a compromise not hacking Spark's source code
