> Today, thrift request structs use the userName of the user on whose behalf the request is performed. Instead, we should include the list of groups to which the user belongs. Benefits,
> a) user-group resolution can be restricted to the client i.e., impala, hs2, solr etc and hence sentry service doesn't have to resolve the mapping.
> b) user-group mapping doesn't have to present on the node that's hosting the sentry service.
