Description

What would you like to be improved?

This code looks to be incorrect:

Preconditions.checkArgument(
        authzMetadataObject.type()
            == PathBasedMetadataObject.PathType.get(MetadataObject.Type.SCHEMA),
``

### How should we improve?

Should use .equals rather than ==?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code snippet in RangerAuthorizationHDFSPlugin, verify whether the equality comparison should use .equals() instead of == for comparing enum like objects, and update if necessary.
