-------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to build Impala with only one of Sentry /
Ranger
Key: IMPALA-9191
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9191
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Frontend
Affects Versions: Impala 3.4.0
Reporter: Joe McDonnell
Deployments of Impala will use either Ranger or Sentry, and deployments would
not switch back and forth between the two. It makes sense to provide a way to
pick at compile time which one to include. This allows packagers of Impala to
avoid a dependency for whichever authorization provider they don't need.
In particular, compilation of the USE_CDP_HIVE=true side of Impala currently
needs only a few things from the CDH_BUILD_NUMBER and one them is Sentry. In
the other direction, the only thing a USE_CDP_HIVE=false configuration uses
from the CDP_BUILD_NUMBER is Ranger.
