Description

The Sentry plugin for metastore handles syncing up metadata changes with Sentry store. If a Db or Table is modified (eg drop, alter), then the corresponding privilege adjustments are handled by the plugin.
This is implemented as a metastore post event listener which is fired even when the operation failed.
We need to ensure that the syncup only happens when the listener is fired upon successful completion of the operation.
