Description

We currently use the JSON ranger APIs directly in our tests. RANGER-2862 added a nicer java client for ranger and an python client is upcoming. We should consider switching to the client.

E.g. see https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/71a64591e35b5de818ca0cc1212b720d2e69c111/fe/src/test/java/org/apache/impala/authorization/AuthorizationStmtTest.java#L2832
