Abstract
A system manages access control for database queries in accordance with access control policies. The techniques may be used for access control of managed clusters in cloud platforms used for data processing, for example, for MapReduce operations. According to an embodiment, the access control policies are fine grained access control policies that allow a user to access a subset of datasets including data of a dataset. The system receives and compiles a database query to generate a query plan for processing the database query. The query plan includes: one or more data access operators, one or more data processing operators, and one or more access control filters. The system executes the query plan using an executor process and a helper process. The helper process executes a data access operator and a corresponding data access filter and the executor process executes one or more data processing operators.
