Description

Sentry will error if a table's location URI does not begin with hdfs:// or file://, for example:

hive> create external table kv (key int, values string)  location 's3://data.s3ndemo.hive/kv'; 
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI 's3://data.s3ndemo.hive/kv' in invalid. Must start with file:// or hdfs://)

Support for s3, s3n and s3a URIs would be useful.
