I work on Apache Trafodion and have been asked to evaluate integration of
Trafodion with Sentry.
My background includes supporting privileges for Trafodion and am very familiar
with the basics of users, roles, privileges, and groups.
I read through much of the documentation from the Sentry site but have many
questions.
First off, I wanted to just install Sentry and play with it a bit to see how
things work. I did install it through Cloudera manager but not sure how to
proceed.

I plan to load some Hive tables and check out how the interface works between
Hive and Sentry. As part of Sentry install, does the Hive plug-in get
installed or is there a separate step required for this. I did notice that
beeline was required.
I looked through the section on Kafka integration with Sentry found on the
Sentry site but I would really like to see a more high level description on
what is required to integrate with Sentry. From a high level, it looks like I
need to add a plug-in that calls some set of API's. It also looks there they
may be changes required in Sentry itself. If there is some kind of check list
and steps needed for this work, that would be helpful.
