> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Authorization, SQLStandardAuthorization
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
>
> In HIVE-5954, the client side code is making multiple calls to list_roles
> metastore api to get all the roles in the hierarchy.
> The multiple calls can be avoided if the list_roles api could return all the
> roles in the hierarchy .
> An optional boolean argument that asks to return the roles in hierarchy as
> well could be introduced.
