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

             Summary: [DOCS] Kudu/Sentry docs are out of date
                 Key: IMPALA-6654
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6654
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Docs
    Affects Versions: Impala 2.11.0
            Reporter: Thomas Tauber-Marshall


The documentation of Impala's support for Sentry authorization on Kudu tables, 
available here:
http://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_kudu.html

is out of date. It should be updated to include the changes made in 
IMPALA-5489. In particular:
- Access is no longer "all or nothing" - we support column-level permissions
- Permissions do not apply "to all SQL operations" - we support SELECT- and 
INSERT-specific permissions. DELETE/UPDATE/UPSERT still require ALL

We should also document that "all on server" is required to specify 
"kudu.master_addresses" in a CREATE, even for managed tables, in addition to be 
required to CREATE any external table.
