-----------------------------------

             Summary: Provide API on SentryPolicyServiceClient for admin and configuration checks.
                 Key: SENTRY-2327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2327
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Service
            Reporter: Adam Holley


Currently if I want to check if a user is an administrator I either check the local sentry config file or make a call that is only accessible to sentry admin and check for an exception.  Additionally, If I want to see if an specific configuration is enabled, I need to check the local sentry config which could bypass the sentry server config.

What I'd like is to have a method or two that allows this through the SentryPolicyServiceClient.  e.g.

boolean client.isAdmin(String user)

boolean client.isOwnerPrivilegeEnabled()

boolean client.isOwnerPrivilegeWithGrantEnabled()
