--------------------------------------
Summary: Allow users to have Custom tags on Cells
Key: HBASE-16706
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16706
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Anoop Sam John
Assignee: Anoop Sam John
Fix For: 2.0.0
The Codec based strip of tags was done as a temp solution not to pass the
critical system tags from server back to client. This also imposes the
limitation that Tags can not be used by users. Tags are a system side feature
alone. In the past there were some Qs in user@ for using custom tags.
We should allow users to set tags on Cell and pass them while write. Also these
custom tags must be returned back to users (Irrespective of codec and all). The
system tags (like ACL, visibility) should not get transferred btw client and
server. And when the client is run by a super user, we should pass all tags
(including system tags). This way we can make sure that all tags are passed
while replication and also tool like Export gets all tags.
