[jira] [Created] (SENTRY-881) Allow some metadata operations with column-level privileges

Lenni Kuff created SENTRY-881:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Allow some metadata operations with column-level privileges
                 Key: SENTRY-881
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-881
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Sentry
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
            Reporter: Lenni Kuff


It would be useful to allow some metadata operations if a user has only column-level permissions on a table. The two common statements are:

DESCRIBE table
and 
SHOW COLUMNS IN table

DESCRIBE variants such as DESCRIBE FORMATTED should continue to require table level privileges, since they expose additional table metadata.
