Lenni Kuff commented on SENTRY-430:
-----------------------------------

bq. Hence the script makes the assumption that when you have Hive env set, then 
you are invoking config tool and doesn't include server jars in the classpath.

This seems a bit unintuitive to me. I think it is strange that just having 
HIVE_HOME set causes this sort of behavior change when starting up the service. 
It's also strange that the CLASSPATH will get filled with a bunch of Hive JARs, 
which (as we see from this bug) cause Sentry Service to fail to work properly.

> When HIVE_HOME is set as an environment variable, the Sentry Service will not 
> run with the correct classpath when invoked using "bin/sentry". 
> The code below is from "bin/sentry". Note how if HIVE_HOME is defined nothing 
> from lib/server/* is added to the classpath.
> As a side note, it seems strange that there even is a reference to Hive in 
> this context. It seems that the sentry service is being executed via Hive 
> when HIVE_HOME is defined. It seems like we should not do this.
