Summary: Consistent rules for security meta table protections
Key: HBASE-13336
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13336
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
The AccessController and VisibilityController do different things regarding
protecting their meta tables. The AC allows schema changes and disable/enable
if the user has permission. The VC unconditionally disallows all admin actions.
Generally, bad things will happen if these meta tables are damaged, disabled,
or dropped. The likely outcome is random frequent (or constant) server side op
failures with nasty stack traces. We should have consistent and sensible rules
for protecting security meta tables.
