---------------------------------------
Summary: consolidate the getTableDescriptors() semantic
Key: HBASE-12564
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12564
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client, master
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Matteo Bertozzi
Assignee: Matteo Bertozzi
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.0
Master getTableDescriptors() which is called by Admin.listTables() has a couple
of different behaviors depending on how it is called.
after HBASE-12073 with the AccessController enabled, we now get a "global
admin" required if listTables() is called without a regex otherwise we return
only the table that the user can see (we show only the tables that the user
have access to, which means or the user is a global admin or it has a
table-level create/admin). We probably should have the second behavior even
without regex, since I should able to see "my own tables".
getTableDescriptors() is returning only non system tables. Tools like
user_permission that are doing "for each listTable(): userPerm(table)" are
losing the system tables, so stuff like user_permission 'hbase:acls' will not
result any result.
