Dependency of HDP Atlas on Ranger

Seaport — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 13:59:10 GMT

Can I access HDP Atlas without Ranger?

I am new to HDP and so far I can use Hive, HBase, and Sqoop without Ranger installed. Now I am trying Atlas and following this link.

https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/HDP3/HDP-3.1.0/configuring-atlas/content/configure_atlas_security.html

It looks like I have to use Ranger for

accessing Atlas, and
communication between Ranger and other services like Hive and HBase.

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Integration with Ranger is for Atlas Security and in case you want to use tag based policies which is one of the most common use cases for Ranger + Atlas. But is not a requirement, see following link:

https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/HDP3/HDP-3.1.0/configuring-atlas/content/additional_requirements_for_atlas_with_ranger_and_kerberos.html

This is also mentioned in our documentation see more in section: Additional Requirements for Atlas with Kerberos without Ranger

Finally, to install Atlas you are only required to have installed Infra Solr, Kafka and Hbase.
