  • Why Data Security is Broken and How to Fix it?
    5 projects | dev.to | 15 Oct 2024
    Security Aware Data Metadata Data schema formats such as Avro and Json currently lack built-in support for data sensitivity or security-aware metadata. Additionally, common formats like Parquet and Iceberg, while efficient for storing large datasets, don’t natively include security-aware metadata. At Jarrid, we are exploring various metadata formats to incorporate data sensitivity and security-aware attributes that can be easily tracked at the data lake, file, and even down to the field level. By tagging security-aware metadata directly into the data schema, tracking encryption keys and enforcing security policies across data pipelines and storage becomes easier. Currently, Keyper makes encryption key permissions configuration-driven and trackable, ensuring that encryption keys and their access rules are well-managed, version-controlled, and easy to audit.

  • How do you update an existing avro schema using apache avro SchemaBuilder?
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 9 Jun 2023
    I am testing a new schema registry which loads and retrieves different kinds of avro schemas. In the process of testing, I need to create a bunch of different types of avro schemas. As it involves a lot of permutations, I decided to create the schema programmatically.I am using the apache avro SchemaBuilder to do so.
