-----------------------------------
Summary: HBase shell doesn't allow deleting of a cell by user with
W-only permissions to it
Key: HBASE-12120
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12120
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shell
Reporter: Dima Spivak
If cell-level ACLs are used to give a user "W" permissions to a cell, they
should be able to delete that cell. In testing the Java API, I've confirmed
that this is respected. Using the HBase shell, however, a user trying to delete
a cell to which they don't have read permissions results in a "Row Not Found"
error.
[~mbertozzi] tracked this down to a change introduced by HBASE-5837 wherein an
attempt is made to get the cell before deleting it to confirm that it exists.
