Resolution: Duplicate
> 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.
