[jira] [Created] (IMPALA-10211) Add support for role-related statements

Fang-Yu Rao created IMPALA-10211:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for role-related statements
                 Key: IMPALA-10211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10211
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Frontend, Security
            Reporter: Fang-Yu Rao
            Assignee: Fang-Yu Rao


After IMPALA-9708, we dropped the support for Sentry, an authorization service providing role-based authorization. Since then Impala lacks support for role-based authorization.

On the other hand, after RANGER-2425, Ranger added APIs for role-related SQL statements. It would be nice to enable role-related SQL statements in Impala with Ranger being the authorization provider so that users that were using Sentry as the authorization provider could still be using Impala if role-based authorization is required.
