>
> During functional testing it was found that SentryStore implementation
> contains logic that enforces sentry rights and depends on cluster-specific
> context. Specifically grantOptionCheck needs to be able to resolve hadoop
> user's groups and sentry admin groups configured on the cluster.
> There are two problems with this:
> # Some backends use SentryStore in a multi-tenant way and does have the
> context that SentryStore expects when it is used in cluster.
> # Security enforcement logic shouldn't be in SentryStore if it is to be
> trusted. Since the backends Sentry API may be stateless the caller has to
> pass request context to such implementation backend together with the
> explicit SentryStore arguments. If the context (e.g. groups) is passed with
> the request the checks become unenforceable since caller controls variables
> on both sides of the comparison.
> The recommendation is to remove {{grantOptionCheck}} and {{SentryStore}} and
> to implement equivalent logic in {{SentryPolicyStoreProcessor}}.
