Description

Sentry can be improved by moving all of the privilige actions for hive (such as grant/revoke) from beeline and into a centralized CLI.  With this we can do operations such as show all privileges for a role across HDFS, Hive, Impala, etc in a single location and administer this in a single location.  In a cluster, it would be good to have the sentry cli as a standalone executable, so building in a REST API for Sentry use would be needed.
