> Follow up task of HIVE-5923.
> Grant privilege and revoke privilege statements need to be changed to remove
> the requirement to specify whether the grantee is a user or role. That is,
> today Hive’s syntax is GRANT action ON [TABLE] table TO grantee where grantee
> is USER|ROLE identifier.
> If the keyword is not specified, hive will try to find role with that matches
> the identifier, otherwise, it will assume it is a user.
