RANGER-4309: Add prerequisites with minimal plugin versions for the regular build …

[Sulray]

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

To start simplifying the work of people who want to build the project using the standard build process, we would like to propose an update of the README.md with the minimum versions necessary for the building of Apache ranger with the plugins and dependencies on them.

For the moment, 4 prerequisites are indicated:

• JDK 1.8+ taken from pom.xml
• Apache Maven 3.6.3+ taken from pom.xml
• Hadoop 3.3.0+ taken from tests
• Hive 3.0.0+ taken from tests

(Please fill in changes proposed in this fix. Create an issue in ASF JIRA before opening a pull request and set the title of the pull request which starts with the corresponding JIRA issue number. (e.g. RANGER-XXXX: Fix a typo in YYY))

Hadoop 3.3.0+

The method CheckPermissionWithContext was not implemented before hadoop 3.3.0. Here is the file in which this method is implemented since 3.3.0 and it's possible to see that it wasn't at the release 3.2.4 : https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/release-3.2.4-RC0/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/INodeAttributeProvider.java

It is necessary to build the latest version, if we try to build with the hadoop.version flag pointing to 3.2.4 version we get the following error:

[ERROR] /usr/hdp/ranger/hdfs-agent/src/main/java/org/apache/ranger/authorization/hadoop/RangerHdfsAuthorizer.java:[229,2] error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

Hive 3.0.0+

At the beginning, we wanted to build Apache Ranger with hive.version=2.3.3.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ranger-hive-plugin: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.ranger:ranger-hive-plugin:jar:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.apache.hive:hive-service:jar:2.3.3 -> org.apache.hive:hive-exec:jar:2.3.3 -> org.apache.calcite:calcite-core:jar:1.10.0 -> org.pentaho:pentaho-aggdesigner-algorithm:jar:5.1.5-jhyde

The approach we have tried to fix this was to add the following to both ranger-hive-plugin-shim/pom.xml and hive-agent/pom.xml for both hive-exec and hive-service artifacts inside :

                    <exclusion>
                       <groupId>org.pentaho</groupId>
                       <artifactId>*</artifactId>
                   </exclusion>

We got the following error (for example with hive.version=2.8.1):

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ranger-hive-plugin: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.ranger:ranger-hive-plugin:jar:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.apache.hive:hive-common:jar:2.8.1 (absent), org.apache.hive:hive-service:jar:2.8.1 (absent), org.apache.hive:hive-exec:jar:2.8.1 (absent), org.apache.hive:hive-metastore:jar:2.8.1 (absent), org.apache.hive:hive-jdbc:jar:2.8.1 (absent): org.apache.hive:hive-common:jar:2.8.1 was not found in https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of apache.snapshots.https has elapsed or updates are forced

We had the same errors for all versions < 3.0.0

How was this patch tested?

Tested on CentOS 7.9 with JDK-8 and JDK-11, Apache Maven 3.9.3
