Description

An alternative approach to #23103. The main difference is that in this approach, the properties requiring redaction are selected from those provided by the user, rather than always returning a static set of predefined security-sensitive properties. The benefits are as follows:

  • By default (if a connector doesn't implement the SPI), all properties are masked.
  • Unknown (potentially misspelled) properties can also be treated as redactable.

This PR includes an implementation of the new SPI for the PostgreSQL connector. Once we confirm that the approach is correct, we will apply it to the remaining connectors.

Here is a PR demonstrating how the new SPI could be used to mask security-sensitive properties in queries related to creating catalogs: #24563.

Instead of attempting to list every configuration class, I think we should modify ConfigurationFactory in Airlift to extract the properties for us. I'm thinking (just thoughts after a brief look) that we have a method to extract all properties from a set of modules, and classify them into used, unused, and unknown. With used and unused having sub classification for secure or unsecure.

I like the idea of getting properties from Airlift. However, I’m wondering if this is feasible, given that some modules are bound conditionally. Additionally, in some cases, we use constructs like: https://github.com/trinodb/trino/blob/master/plugin/trino-delta-lake/src/main/java/io/trino/plugin/deltalake/DeltaLakeSecurityModule.java#L43-L49, which means Airlift isn’t even aware that multiple modules can be bound.

I’m assuming we want to have a static list of possible properties, rather than bootstrapping a connector when getSecuritySensitivePropertyNames is called. Is this a wrong assumption?

@piotrrzysko Can we scan the classpath to find all configuration classes annotated with @config ?

I do this in this test:

Set<ConfigPropertyMetadata> propertiesFoundInClasspath = findPropertiesInRuntimeClasspath(excludedClasses);
I wanted to avoid scanning the classpath at runtime to minimize the time required for plugin loading.

@piotrrzysko we could generate an index while building a project, in the trino-maven-plugin

Classpath scanning won't work becasue you can mount configuration classes under a prefix... like we do for HTTP clients.

I think this will be helpful in getting #22669 done as well (the main stumbling block there is that by making catalog properties available in all catalog manager implementations, we may expose some security-sensitive properties).

The SPI will be used by the engine to redact security-sensitive
information in statements that manage catalogs. It has been added at the
connector factory level, rather than the connector level, to allow more
flexibility in retrieving properties. In some cases, we want to perform
redacting before a connector is initiated. For example, when we create a
new catalog by issuing the CREATE CATALOG statement.
Exposed properties fall into one of the following categories: they are
either explicitly marked as security-sensitive or are unknown. The
connector assumes that unknown properties might be misspelled
security-sensitive properties.
This preparatory commit enables bootstrapping HDFS to retrieve its
security-sensitive properties.
