Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-6547:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback. Will make them required.
While I am at it , i will also make the fields in
GetPrincipalsInRoleResponse,GetPrincipalsInRoleRequest required. With the
semantics of the functions, it does not make any sense for them to be
non-required.
> normalize struct Role in metastore thrift interface

> Affects Versions: 0.13.0

> As discussed in HIVE-5931, it will be cleaner to have the information about
> Role to role member mapping removed from the Role object, as it is not part
> of a logical Role. This information not relevant for actions such as creating
> a Role.
> As part of this change get_role_grants_for_principal api will be added, so
> that it can be used in place of list_roles, when role mapping information is
> desired.
