Hi Folks, I noticed that withing 0.98 branch, the behavior of read accesses depends on hfile versions. If the user decides to use HFile V3 instead of HFile V2, then the read actions in case of access denied case start returning 0 rows instead of throwing AccessDenied exception. Ted mentioned yesterday that some work has been done in this direction [1], where a flag "hbase.security.access.early_ out" was provided to the user for restoring the previous behavior. But, this flag does make sense only in the context of user switching to HFile V3. Is it a better idea to get rid of this dependency on file versions and present users with a single knob for switching behavior? Or can we do something about making this more consistent, may be not immediately, but for 1.0? Thanks, Srikanth.
