Interface OpenMetadataEventsSecurity

All Known Implementing Classes:
OMRSMetadataDefaultEventsSecurity, OpenMetadataServerSecurityVerifier
public interface OpenMetadataEventsSecurity
OpenMetadataEventsSecurity defines the optional interface that an Open Metadata Server Security Connector can implement to control whether an event is either sent or received from a cohort. Simply implementing this interface means that the security connector will be called each time an event is to be sent or received from a cohort topic. It has two methods, one for sending and one for receiving. The parameters include the cohort name and the event contents. It can return the event unchanged, return a modified event (eg with sensitive content removed) or return null to say that the event is filtered out.
