Dan Burkert commented on SENTRY-2371:
-------------------------------------
[~LinaAtAustin] - Hao is out for a few days, but I have some context on this
feature request. For Kudu/Sentry integration (KUDU-428), we'd like to have a
single thrift API to call to gather all the privileges for a user. The
existing APIs require sending multiple sequential RPCs to Sentry to get all
associated groups, then associated roles, then associated privileges. It would
be a lot more efficient if Sentry could perform this join for us on the server
(perhaps even in the database?), and would save us from having to re-implement
the join in C++.

> SENTRY-2256 introduces an API to list the privileges directly assigned to a
> user. But there isn't an API to list all privileges a user has including the
> ones granted to the group the user is in. Such an API is important when
> clients need to find out all privilege a user has.
