Is Kafka and Storm supported via Ranger?

[#1]

I see the plugin but then I see this

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-246

and for Storm, it gives me an alert that only works with secure cluster.

advice?

[#2]

Yes you need to have a Kerberos secured cluster for Storm plug in to be fully functional

Ranger cannot set policies for Storm unless it is secured with Kerberos. Kerberos needs to be configured. Coincidentally @Ali Bajwa has an example for Storm here at Setup Storm Plugin for Ranger HDP 2.3

[#3]

so for both kafka and storm need Kerberos?

[#4 · Accepted solution]

As of HDP 2.3.2 ..above components are supported by Ranger

For Storm

@[email protected] Yes, Storm and Kafka needs to be kerberized
