             Summary: Log a a group of privileges into a single audit log
                 Key: IMPALA-8716
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8716
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Frontend
            Reporter: Fredy Wijaya
            Assignee: Fredy Wijaya


Some privileges, such as VIEW_METADATA consists of multiple privileges (INSERT, 
SELECT, REFRESH). For example if we have run "show partitions foo.barfoo.bar" 
and we have SELECT privilege on table "foo.bar", we will be creating 2 audit 
logs:
- Attempt to check if there's INSERT privilege on table "foo.bar" -- denied, 
INSERT, foo.bar
- Attempt to check if there's SELECT privilege on table "foo.bar" -- allowed, 
SELECT, foo.bar

This can be confusing. A better solution is to log this as a single audit log, 
e.g.
- allowed, VIEW_METADATA, foo.bar
