Fredy Wijaya created IMPALA-8476: ------------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
