------------------------------------
Summary: Bulk loading should not require client to be same as
hbase user
Key: HBASE-9417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9417
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: regionserver, security
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
Fix For: 0.98.0
In unsecure bulk loading, the client creates the files to be bulk loaded, and
asks the regionservers to do the operation. Bulk loading is performed by a
move, which would mean that the hbase user has to have WRITE permissions for
the bulk loaded files. If the client who has generated the files is different
than the hbase user, this creates an access denied exception if complete bulk
load is not run as the hbase user.
I think even for unsecure mode, we should mimic what SecureBulkLoadEndpoint
does, where hbase creates a staging directory and the client hands off the
files to that directory with global perms.
