> The Sentry Policy Service does not treat role names as case insensitive. Role names are always stored in lowercase, but the checks to see if a role exists are done in a case sensitive fashion.  This leads to lots of errors about roles not existing when they actually do.
> For example:
> {code}
> SentryPolicyServiceClient client = new SentryPolicyServiceClient(conf);
> Set<String> userGroupNames = Sets.newHashSet();
> userGroupNames.add("lskuff");
> String roleName = "newRole";
> client.createRole("lskuff", userGroupNames, roleName);
> // Fails with role does not exist error message since "newRole" is stored as "newrole"
> client.grantRoleToGroup("lskuff", userGroupNames,
>         "lskuff", roleName);
> org.apache.sentry.provider.db.SentryNoSuchObjectException: Role: TAlterSentryRoleAddGroupsRequest(protocol_version:1, requestorUserName:lskuff, requestorGroupNames:[lskuff], roleName:newRole, groups:[TSentryGroup(groupName:lskuff)]) does not exist.. Server Stacktrace: org.apache.sentry.provider.db.SentryNoSuchObjectException: Role: newRole
> 	at org.apache.sentry.provider.db.service.persistent.SentryStore.alterSentryRoleAddGroups(SentryStore.java:435)
> {code}
