What is Apache Ranger?
It is a framework to enable, monitor and manage comprehensive data security across the Hadoop platform.

Enterprises can potentially run multiple workloads, in a multi tenant environment. Data security within Hadoop needs to evolve to support multiple use cases for data access, while also providing a framework for central administration of security policies and monitoring of user access.
