I would agree. Trend Micro has offered to the HBase community, for several months now, a version of HBase with Secure Hadoop integration and functioning table- and column-family ACLs: http://github.com/trendmicro/hbase/tree/security We run a 0.90-ish version of this in our production. The implementation is implemented as a coprocessor, but requires the coprocessor framework and pluggable RPC (and the secure RPC engine) to be included into core. So far we have successfully upstreamed the coprocessor framework, into 0.92. Inclusion of pluggable RPC (and the secure RPC engine) into 0.92 could happen, but my understanding is the PMC consensus is pluggable RPC, and the Maven build refactoring necessary, would delay the release unacceptably. So this has been "accepted" in principle for 0.94. I put 'accepted' in quotes because I can't say there is any commitment to do this. I think we can respond that a secure HBase would be a reality if our contributions are accepted in full. It would be a stronger response if the immediate next release (almost ready) were to have fully functioning security features. On the other hand, I think the Accumulo proposal is not inaccurate if our contributions will not be accepted for some reason. So we should have this discussion, before responding. > Code overlap, if any, can be addressed when the code drop happens. I for one am eagerly awaiting the code. Only after this will there be enough information on hand to address some of the questions we have.
