Disabling Ranger

If you do not want to use Ranger any more, do the following:

From the dashboard, click Configs tab > Advanced tab > Advanced ranger-hdfs-plugin-properties and uncheck the Disable Ranger box for HDFS.

To increase performance, you could also disable Ranger in HDFS Transparency by executing the following steps:
  1. Log in to the Ambari GUI.
  2. Select the IBM Spectrum Scale service > Configs and set the value of gpfs.ranger.enabled to false.
  3. Save the configuration.
  4. Restart IBM Spectrum Scale service, then restart HDFS to sync this value to all the nodes.
