Description

Defining a better authentication scheme for Druid and Presto

Right now LDAP is the main gate keeper of data access that is not sufficiently robust as kerberos authentication for Presto and Druid does not carry per-user info.

Anyone on LDAP user groups can access now (via presto) anything that is on hive using presto. This conflates somewhat data access opened via LDAP with the privacy of some datasets.

I think that the title of this task is a little bit misleading. Druid and Presto will need to get Kerberos authentication enabled, the problem will be how to authenticate properly all the UIs that fetch data from them (most notably Superset and Turnilo).
