[jira] [Created] (IMPALA-9191) Provide a way to build Impala with only one of Sentry / Ranger

Joe McDonnell created IMPALA-9191:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide a way to build Impala with only one of Sentry / Ranger
                 Key: IMPALA-9191
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9191
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Frontend
    Affects Versions: Impala 3.4.0
            Reporter: Joe McDonnell


Deployments of Impala will use either Ranger or Sentry, and deployments would not switch back and forth between the two. It makes sense to provide a way to pick at compile time which one to include. This allows packagers of Impala to avoid a dependency for whichever authorization provider they don't need.

In particular, compilation of the USE_CDP_HIVE=true side of Impala currently needs only a few things from the CDH_BUILD_NUMBER and one them is Sentry. In the other direction, the only thing a USE_CDP_HIVE=false configuration uses from the CDP_BUILD_NUMBER is Ranger.
