[jira] [Commented] (IMPALA-9191) Provide a way to build Impala with
only one of Sentry / Ranger
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9191?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17059126#comment-17059126 ]
Joe McDonnell commented on IMPALA-9191:
---------------------------------------
I think it makes sense to split this up into multiple parts. The first part is to make it possible to run tests without Sentry. Here is what I think would be needed for that:
# Add an environment variable (something like DISABLE_SENTRY)
# Only start up Sentry (in testdata/bin/run-all.sh) if DISABLE_SENTRY is false
# Only run Sentry tests if DISABLE_SENTRY is false (through pytest skips and frontend test equivalents)
# Set DISABLE_SENTRY to true for USE_CDP_HIVE=true.
This would still build against Sentry. A second part of this would be to be able to build without Sentry. That is harder, so it can be postponed.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Frontend
> Affects Versions: Impala 3.4.0
> Reporter: Joe McDonnell
> Assignee: Fang-Yu Rao
> Priority: Critical

> 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.
