[jira] [Commented] (SENTRY-855) support DROP ROLE IF EXISTS or CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS

["Lenni Kuff (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14986836#comment-14986836 ] 

Lenni Kuff commented on SENTRY-855:
-----------------------------------

I agree - this would require updating the SQL support in Hive I believe to fully support this functionality. If Impala wanted to use this it would require Impala-side changes as well. Perhaps file JIRAs for those projects to get this support added - after that support is in place we could update the Sentry Hive binding to take advantage of it.

> For drop database/table/view, we support syntax such as,
> {code}
> DROP DATABASE/TABLE/VIEW [IF EXISTS]
> {code}
> Only for role, there is no support for IF EXISTS,
> We might need to consider to add it.
