 **Disclaimer**
 
 Apache Sentry is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache TLP sponsor. 
 Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making 
 process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the 
-completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
