> In general exporting owner privileges is an unnecessary overhead for couple of reasons
>  # Owner privileges are updated automatically in the target cluster when Hive replication is performed on the target cluster.
>  # Number of owner privileges could be huge and the magnitude of that would increase with increase in the number of databases and tables.
>  
> There are still some use cases where there is a need to replicate owner privilege as well. Here are some of them
>  # When sentry is not configured in the target cluster when owner privileges feature is enabled in source cluster.
>  # When owner privileges feature is enabled in source cluster and not in target cluster.
> In both the above case, target cluster will not have owner privileges for the hive objects that are replicated.
>  
> In summary, replicating owner privilege should be configurable.It is better to have it as an input from the administrator performing the export/import operations.
