Sergio Peña commented on SENTRY-2468: ------------------------------------- How will you provide this input? Just making sure we have a generic parameter for future privileges that should not be exported/imported either. > 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 > Priority: Major > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
