> Static (file-based) attribute provider for Sentry ABAC.
> Attributes are string "tags" used to define a feature of the data which may
> require additional access control steps for security and compliance.
> Since Sentry already provides role-based access control, we must be able to
> define actions to take on data objects based on attribute/role combinations.
> This relationship can be modeled and effectively leveraged at query time with
> a specialized bidirectional map object providing low latency lookup between
> Attribute and Object, and vice versa.
> Attribute->Object definitions will be provided as a JSON object, or as JSON
> delta updates to existing definitions. This implementation will parse the
> definitions into the specialized Java object to provide near-O(1) lookup from
> Attribute-> Object, and from Object -> Attribute associations.
