Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-5931:
-------------------------------------
fyi, the addition of user-to-role mapping into Role 'class' was added in
HIVE-6204 (hive 0.13, so this will not be a backward incompatible change). But
while working on this I feel, mixing the role-to-user mapping and Role object
is not very intuitive/clean, and we might be taking on some technical debt
there.
