[jira] [Created] (SENTRY-359) Support Sentry service API to retrieve privilege hierarchy of the given authorizable object

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

             Summary: Support Sentry service API to retrieve privilege hierarchy of the given authorizable object
                 Key: SENTRY-359
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-359
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar


The current implementation of list_sentry_privileges_for_provider is specifically to facilitate Sentry auth engine. It's not intended to be a general purpose metadata query.
We should add a new API that returns the list of privileges (TSentryPrivilege)  for the give authorizable object and all it's child objects. 
An initial implementation could limit itself to one level of hierarchy (eg when you query a database object, return the tables along with it).
