Hi Madhan,

> which table(s) did MySQL compained about row size?

This was from a while back so can't really remember which tables were having 
the issue, but what happened was when I fixed a table that had this issue (by 
changing `varchar(40000)` to `TEXT`) there would be another one that had this 
issue, so I figured it's easier to just do `sed -i 's/varchar(4000)/TEXT/g' 
ranger_core_db_mysql.sql`.

> Reducing the size can break existing deployments

Good point, I was doing a new deployment and totally forgot that part... Then I 
guess it would be reasonable to provide a suggested setting for MySQL 
configurations. Pretty sure if it's a brand new MySQL database it won't work 
right out of the box alongside Ranger.

No idea how to do that...
