Adding a policy to Ranger using the API fails with org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException

[#1]

When trying to add a policy that has many resource paths to Ranger using the API it can fail with the error

Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.5.2.v20140319-9ad6abd): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Out of range value for column 'sort_order' at row 1
Error Code: 1264
Call: INSERT INTO x_policy_resource_map (ADDED_BY_ID, CREATE_TIME, sort_order, resource_id, UPDATE_TIME, UPD_BY_ID, value) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
	bind => [7 parameters bound]
Query: InsertObjectQuery(XXPolicyResourceMap [XXDBBase={createTime={Thu Apr 13 11:42:38 UTC 2017} updateTime={Thu Apr 13 11:42:39 UTC 2017} addedByUserId={1} updatedByUserId={1} } id=null, resourceId=43, value=/tmp/129, order=128])

This is caused by a limit in Ranger policies that can only contain a maximum of 128 resource paths in a single policy. The work-around would be to split the policy in to two or more policies each containing less that 128 resource paths.
