Description

After ~~IMPALA-9708~~, we dropped the support for Sentry, an authorization service providing role-based authorization. Since then Impala lacks support for role-based authorization.

On the other hand, after ~~RANGER-2425~~, Ranger added APIs for role-related SQL statements. It would be nice to enable role-related SQL statements in Impala with Ranger being the authorization provider so that users that were using Sentry as the authorization provider could still be using Impala if role-based authorization is required.
