 Apache Atlas (incubating) Overview

 Apache Atlas framework is an extensible set of core
 foundational governance services – enabling enterprises to effectively and
 efficiently meet their compliance requirements within Hadoop and allows
 integration with the whole enterprise data ecosystem.

 This will provide true visibility in Hadoop by using both a prescriptive
 and forensic model, along with technical and operational audit as well as
 lineage enriched by business taxonomical metadata.  It also enables any
 metadata consumer to work inter-operably without discrete interfaces to
 each other -- the metadata store is common.

 The metadata veracity is maintained by leveraging Apache Ranger to prevent
 non-authorized access paths to data at runtime.
 Security is both role based (RBAC) and attribute based (ABAC).


 Apache Atlas is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache
 Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC.
