-----------------------------------

             Summary: Users lacking ADMIN on 'SYSTEM' HBase namespace can't 
connect to Phoenix
                 Key: PHOENIX-3756
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3756
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: 4.11.0


Follow-on from PHOENIX-3652:

The fix provided in PHOENIX-3652 addressed the default situation where users 
would need ADMIN on the default HBase namespace. However, when 
{{phoenix.schema.isNamespaceMappingEnabled=true}} and Phoenix creates its 
system tables in the {{SYSTEM}} HBase namespace, unprivileged users (those 
lacking ADMIN on {{SYSTEM}}) still cannot connect to Phoenix.

The root-cause is essentially the same: the code tries to fetch the 
{{NamespaceDescriptor}} for the {{SYSTEM}} namespace which requires the ADMIN 
permission.
