this question might sound stupid, But to validate whether i am creating correct policy in ranger or not, I guess this may be mandatory. I have observed this in ranger 0.7, if we create a policy on a database which is not available in HDFS, policy gets created. Only check is on Group or User for which permission is granted. let me explain more using an example: 1. Database : random (NA in HDFS) 2. Table : random 3. Column : random 4. Group : public (valid linux group) 5. Permission : select policy will get created using these inputs, although Database, table and column are not available. So, In order to validate i would like to access hive metadata (Hive and ranger metadata available in MySQL). and check whether the policy is getting created on correct database or not. Please note that i am creating policies using rest API by feeding in an excel. this excel can be erroneous because it gets created manually. Thank you in Advance, Subash ... View more
