------------------------------------
Summary: Replace Sentry admin check workaround with proper Sentry
API
Key: IMPALA-8476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8476
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Catalog
Reporter: Fredy Wijaya
Impala uses a workaround to detect if a user is a Sentry admin by calling list
privileges API before Sentry didn't provide an API to tell if user is a Sentry
admin:
https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/d820952d86d34ba887c55a09e58b735cbef866c2/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/authorization/sentry/SentryProxy.java#L378-L393
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2440 supports a new API. We should
update the Impala to use the new proper Sentry API.
