Shreepadma Venugopalan updated SENTRY-136:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Thrift request structs should include the groupName in addition to
the userName (was: Thrift request structs should include the groupName rather
than userName)

> 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.
