> HIVE should allow custom converting from HivePrivilegeObjectDesc to
> privilegeObject for different authorizers:
> There is a case in Apache Sentry: Sentry support uri and server level
> privilege, but in hive side, it uses
> {{AuthorizationUtils.getHivePrivilegeObject(privSubjectDesc)}} to do the
> converting, and the code in {{getHivePrivilegeObject()}} only handle the
> scenes for table and database
> {noformat}
> privSubjectDesc.getTable() ? HivePrivilegeObjectType.TABLE_OR_VIEW :
> HivePrivilegeObjectType.DATABASE;
> {noformat}
> A solution is move this method to {{HiveAuthorizer}}, so that a custom
> Authorizer could enhance it.
