Description

Usersync service currently exits when it fails in updating ranger-admin with users and groups found in the source (i.e. Unix or LDAP). Once this occurs, it will require manual start of the usersync service to resume user/group synchronization.

Instead of exiting, the service should continue to stay alive in its synchronization loop and attempt to update ranger-admin after waiting for a configurable amount of time.
