Hi,

I've done some further analysis of the problem, and I think it is not
directly related to SENTRY-1291. The problem manifests in
CommonPrivilege.implies(privilege, model). My (cached) privilege looks like:

Server=server1->Db=authz->Table=words->Column=*->action=select

The "privilege" I want to check looks like:

Server=server1->Db=authz->Table=words->action=select;

The problem is in the "for" loop in CommonPrivilege.implies. It loops on
the parts of the second privilege, and matches up to "action=select". Here
it tries to compare to "Column=*" of the cached privilege and fails on this
line:

https://github.com/apache/sentry/blob/a4924edc79b26f937e3e5ea3584f0b4307dd4135/sentry-policy/sentry-policy-common/src/main/java/org/apache/sentry/policy/common/CommonPrivilege.java#L86

It's clear there's a bug here somewhere, but I'm not sure where - can
someone please advise?

Thanks,

Colm.
