Prasad Mujumdar commented on SENTRY-156:
----------------------------------------
[~sravya] I haven't update the patch. Here are the comments from RB
bq. I dont see this conf and resourcePath being used anywhere, might as well
get rid of it? In which case we can also get rid of hadoop-common dependency.
Actually the constructor for providerBackend needs to have that the
configuration argument. The authorization provider looks for that specific
method signature using reflection.
Also if we can remove hadoop-common dependency in cache provider, the other
layers still need configuration object. Hence we can't remove it from Hive or
Impala altogether.
> Support local privilege validation APIs

> The authorization provider reads the retrieves the privileges from the
> underlying policy provider (either file or DB store). We should support
> additional APIs where the privileges are passed by the caller. This is useful
> for Impala when working on a cached copy of privileges. It will also be handy
> for DB store client unit tests.
