             Summary: SimpleDBProviderBackend should retry the authrization 
process decently
                 Key: SENTRY-902
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-902
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Yibing Shi


Currently {{SimpleDBProviderBackend}} doesn't retry the authorization properly. 
Problems are:
# It retry count is hard coded. Always retries once
# No wait time between before retries
# The method calls itself recursively, which could causes stack overflow if 
retries too many times
# If an exception happens in 
{{SentryPolicyServiceClient.listPrivilegesForProvider}}, then 
{{policyServiceClient}} won't be closed, which could cause resource leak.
