Shreepadma Venugopalan created SENTRY-136:
---------------------------------------------
Summary: Thrift request structs should include the groupName
rather than userName
Key: SENTRY-136
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-136
Project: Sentry
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Shreepadma Venugopalan
Today, thrift request structs use the userName of the user on whose behalf the
request is performed. Instead, we should include the list of groups to which
the user belongs. Benefits,
a) user-group resolution can be restricted to the client i.e., impala, hs2,
solr etc and hence sentry service doesn't have to resolve the mapping.
b) user-group mapping doesn't have to present on the node that's hosting the
sentry service.
