Apache Sentry (incubating) Incompatible Changes

  • CDH 5.1 introduces a new privilege model in Sentry. This introduces a backward incompatible change for Impala. Creating a new object now requires the ALL privilege on the parent object. For example, creating a database now requires server-level privileges (previously needed database-level) and creating a table requires database-level privileges (previously needed table-level).
