Prasad Mujumdar commented on SENTRY-359:
----------------------------------------
This would require the Sentry service to extract the child object from Hive
metastore or for non-DB object this would be from some other repository.
An alternative could be to support a bulk fetch API where call provides a list
of objects and Sentry will return a map of object name to all privileges. Here
the client is responsible for extracting the child objects. Sentry will only
manage it's own metadata lookup.
> Support Sentry service API to retrieve applicable privileges for a given
> authorizable object

> Project: Sentry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar
>
> The current implementation of list_sentry_privileges_for_provider is
> specifically to facilitate Sentry auth engine. It's not intended to be a
> general purpose metadata query.
> We should add a new API that returns the list of privileges
> (TSentryPrivilege) for the give authorizable object and all it's applicable
> privileges.
