Sentry enables role-based, fine-grained authorization for HiveServer2 and
provides classic database-style authorization for Hive, Cloudera Impala and Cloudera Search.
You can use either the Sentry service (introduced in Cloudera Manager 5.1.0 and CDH 5.1.0) or
the policy file approach to secure your data. For more information, refer the CDH and Cloudera Manager documentation.
