Cloudera Data Catalog Profilers in VM-based environments
Cloudera Data Catalog Profilers
Profilers create metadata annotations that summarize the content and shape characteristics of the data assets (such as distribution of values in a box plot or histogram).
The Cluster Sensitivity Profiler
Automatically performs context and content inspection to detect various types of sensitive data and suggest suitable classifications or tags based on the type of sensitive content detected or discovered.
The Ranger Audit Profiler
Lets you see who has accessed which data from a forensic audit or compliance perspective, visualize access patterns, and identify anomalies in access patterns.
The Hive Column Profiler
Lets you view the shape or distribution characteristics of the columnar data within a Hive table based on the Hive Column Profiler.
Cloudera Data Catalog Profilers in Compute Cluster enabled environments
Cloudera Data Catalog Profilers
Profilers create metadata annotations that summarize the content and shape characteristics of the data assets (such as distribution of values in a box plot or histogram).
The Data Compliance Profiler
Automatically performs context and content inspection to detect various types of sensitive data and suggest suitable classifications or tags based on the type of sensitive content detected or discovered.
The Activity Profiler
Lets you see who has accessed which data from a forensic audit or compliance perspective, visualize access patterns, and identify anomalies in access patterns.
The Statistics Collector Profiler
Lets you view the shape or distribution characteristics of the columnar data within a Hive table based on the Hive Column Profiler.
