Apache: Big Data 2015

Hadoop has long had strong authentication via integration with Kerberos,
authorization via User/Group/Other HDFS permissions, and auditing via
the audit log. Recent developments in Hadoop have added HDFS file access
control lists, pluggable encryption key provider APIs, HDFS snapshots,
and HDFS encryption zones. These features combine to give important new
data protection features that every company should be using to protect
their data. This talk will cover what the new features are
and when and how to use them in enterprise production environments.
Upcoming features including columnar encryption in the ORC columnar format
will also be covered. By encrypting particular columns, enterprises can
control which users have access to particularly sensitive columns that
contain personally identifiable information or financial information.
