-----------------------------

             Summary: DBUpdateForwarder returns empty update list to HDFS 
instead of full update
                 Key: SENTRY-1784
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-1784
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Sentry
    Affects Versions: sentry-ha-redesign
            Reporter: Na Li
            Assignee: Na Li
            Priority: Critical


When HDFS first asks Sentry for update, the request changeID is 1. If there is 
no entries in permission change table (current changeID is 0), empty update 
list is returned to HDFS because the current code behavior is that no update is 
returned if request changeID is larger than the current chaneID.

Once this problem is fixed (returning full update when request changeID = 1, 
and current changeID = 0), another issue of the current code is that after a 
full update is sent to client, and there is no entries in permission change 
table (current changeID is 0), the next request changeID is still 1, 
so full update is returned for the second time. Full update will be sent for 
each request until permission change table has at least one entry. 

The desired behavior is for HDFS to get full update when it sends the first 
request to Sentry. Once it gets full update, the following requests should get 
delta updates unless some updates are purged before they are sent to HDFS.
