Shreepadma Venugopalan commented on SENTRY-4:
---------------------------------------------
[~gchanan]: Thanks for doing this. I think what you are proposing sounds good
mostly. Wondering if hive.sentry.server should be renamed to something more
generic or should we add a system specific variable? Benefit of adding a
framework specific variable is the ability to provide containers for each of
the systems. i.e., search and hive can have their own namespaces and policies.
The obvious downside is the inability to share policies between two systems
eg., impala and hive.

> I'm thinking of the following properties, I'll check if there are others:
> hive.sentry.provider -> sentry.provider
> hive.sentry.provider.resource -> sentry.provider.resource
> hive.sentry.server -> sentry.server
> I'm happy to implement this, just need some guidance on what you want to do
> about compatibility.
> I was thinking the following:
> 1) If only old names used: accept old values, log warning
> 2) If old and new names used: use new values, log warning about old names
> being ignored
> 3) If only old new names used: use new values, no log warning
> Thoughts?
