[jira] [Commented] (SENTRY-2137) Improve and rework the CLI

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16350869#comment-16350869 ] 

Alexander Kolbasov commented on SENTRY-2137:
--------------------------------------------

I agree that having a nice usable CLI is nice (we have two now to play with) but it doesn't mean that we should move things *out* of beeline.  Having REST API is quite possible as well but this is a different ask from CLI, so let's not mix it in one bucket.

> Sentry can be improved by moving all of the privilige actions for hive (such as grant/revoke) from beeline and into a centralized CLI.  With this we can do operations such as show all privileges for a role across HDFS, Hive, Impala, etc in a single location and administer this in a single location.  In a cluster, it would be good to have the sentry cli as a standalone executable, so building in a REST API for Sentry use would be needed.
