[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-5931) SQL std auth - add metastore get_role_participants api - to support DESCRIBE ROLE

["Thejas M Nair (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5931?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13918830#comment-13918830 ] 

Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-5931:
-------------------------------------

fyi, the addition of user-to-role mapping into Role 'class' was added in HIVE-6204 (hive 0.13, so this will not be a backward incompatible change). But while working on this I feel, mixing the role-to-user mapping and Role object is not very intuitive/clean, and we might be taking on some technical debt there.
