This change removes the requirement for Polaris principals to have a numeric identifier, by removing the only sites where such an identifier was required:

  • In the Resolver. Instead of lookups by id, the Resolver now performs lookups by principal name.
  • In PolarisAdminService. Instead of comparing entity ids, the code now compares the principal name against the entity name and type.

Note: the lookup in the Resolver is still necessary, because the Resolver also needs to fetch the grant records.

side note: RESET_CREDENTIALS is no going to be a "self" operation after #2197

My understanding of #2197 is that the root user will be able to reset credentials of another user, but it won't remove the possibility for any user to reset their own credentials. So in a way it it still a "self" operation. Am I missing something?

IIRC, in current main the RESET_CREDENTIALS operation is "dead code" (but will be restored to active service by #2197).

I do not think a self-reset of credentials will be allowed, though.

So, should I remove this check? IMO any changes here should be made by #2197 itself, but I don't mind proactively changing this bit in this PR.

I see the change has been made in #2197: only ROTATE_CREDENTIALS remains a "self-operation".

I agree that this change should be made under #2197. I commented here only as a "heads up" hoping to clarify potential merge conflicts. Sorry, if I caused confusion 😅

@dennishuo @collado-mike PTAL.

This change removes the requirement for Polaris principals to have a numeric identifier, by removing the only sites where such an identifier was required:

- In the `Resolver`. Instead, the `Resolver` now performs a lookup by principal name.
- In  `PolarisAdminService`. Instead, the code now compares the principal name against the entity name.

Note: the lookup in the `Resolver` is still necessary, because the `Resolver` also needs to fetch the grant records.
