ViewShift: Dynamic Policy Enforcement With Spark and SQL Views

Dynamic policy enforcement is increasingly critical in today's landscape, where data compliance is a top priorities for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In this talk, Walaa explores how LinkedIn has implemented a robust dynamic policy enforcement engine, ViewShift, and integrated it within its data lake. He will demystify LinkedIn's query engine stack by demonstrating how catalogs can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. These SQL views possess several noteworthy properties: Auto-Generated: Created automatically from declarative data annotations. User-Centric: They honor user-level consent and preferences. Context-Aware: They apply different transformations tailored to specific use cases. Portable: Despite the SQL logic being implemented in a single dialect, it remains accessible across all engines. Join this session to learn how ViewShift helps ensure that compliance is seamlessly integrated into data processing workflows.
