The extended maintenance / issues with JIRA is preventing me from making any comments. Or maybe I've added the same comment on a JIRA multiple times. Who knows.
There are several issues involving the AccessController and how access control is managed in HBase. I recommend pulling them all together under an umbrella. There are several related issues: 1) Moving beyond the simple choices of the initial implementation (admin actions can be performed by more than the superuser, table owner can now take actions like enable/disable, etc.) 2) More actions must be intercepted as a result of #1 3) New code paths with insufficient coverage. When JIRA is back up I'll pull this together. -- Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
