Here's Quick Guide on Hadoop Security

Here is a topic of security and tools in Hadoop. These are security things that everyone needs to take care of while working with the Hadoop cluster. Hadoop Security Security We live in a very insecure world. For instance, your home's front door to all-important virtual keys, your passwords, everything needs to be secured. In Big data systems, where humongous amounts of data are processed, transformed, and stored. So security you need for the data . Imagine if your company spent a couple of million dollars installing a Hadoop cluster to gather and analyze your customers' spending habits for a product category using a Big Data solution. Here lack of data security leads to customer apprehension. Security Concerns Because that solution was not secure, your competitor got access to that data, and your sales dropped 20% for that product category. How did the system allow unauthorized access to data? Wasn't there any authentication mechanism in place? Why were there no alerts? Th...
