> It would be useful to add an API to Sentry Service that allows Sentry Service
> clients to read the service's configuration values. The Hive Metastore has a
> similar API:
> "String getConfigValue(String propertyName, String defaultValue)"
> One specific use case for Sentry is to make it possible for clients that
> cache policy metadata (e.g. Impala) to read the admin group(s) so they can
> also cache this information and authorize GRANT/REVOKE requests without
> making an RPC to the Sentry service. The client could periodically refresh
> the configuration information to ensure it is up to date.
