-----------------------------------------------
Summary: Replicate owner privileges.
Key: SENTRY-2468
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2468
Project: Sentry
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Sentry
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: kalyan kumar kalvagadda
Assignee: kalyan kumar kalvagadda
In general exporting owner privileges is an unnecessary overhead for couple of
reasons
# Owner privileges are updated automatically in the target cluster when Hive
replication is performed on the target cluster.
# Number of owner privileges could be huge and the magnitude of that would
increase with increase in the number of databases and tables.
There are still some use cases where there is a need to replicate owner
privilege as well. Here are some of them
# When sentry is not configured in the target cluster when owner privileges
feature is enabled in source cluster.
# When owner privileges feature is enabled in source cluster and not in target
cluster.
In both the above case, target cluster will not have owner privileges for the
hive objects that are replicated.
In summary, replicating owner privilege should be configurable.It is better to
have it as an input from the administrator performing the export/import
operations.
