Enable Ranger Plugins

The final step in the Ranger upgrade process requires you to re-enable the Ranger plugins. Although you are only required to enable HDFS in your cluster, you should re-enable all of the Ranger plugins because class names have changed for the 2.3.6 release, and to ensure smooth operation of Ranger services in your cluster.

Before enabling the HDFS plugin, remove set-hdfs-plugin-env.sh from /etc/hadoop/conf. You will need to re-enable this plugin after the upgrade is complete.
