----------------------------------
Summary: Consolidate warning on SecureBulkLoad directory
permissions
Key: HBASE-20694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20694
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Josh Elser
Assignee: Josh Elser
Fix For: 1.4.6, 3.0.0, 2.1.0, 1.5.0, 1.2.7, 1.3.3
Follow-on from HBASE-20605:
HBase 1.x has a check which ignores a directory permission check if you're
using a specific filesystem which we think doesnt' do security properly.
HBase 2.x dropped this check.
Since the security of bulk-loaded data is dependent upon this directory
permission (and thus the capabilities of the FileSystem), it would be better to
have a consistent warning across branches.
[~busbey] suggested that we make a WARN message which points admins to our Book
(and write such a section if we don't have something sufficient already) and
our supported filesystems, coupled with an option to disable that warning
message.
