Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6104:
---------------------------------------
Looks like the new unit test needs an update to pass on Hadoop 1:

> The EXEC action currently exists as only a placeholder in access control. It
> should really be used to enforce access to coprocessor endpoint RPC calls,
> which are currently unrestricted.
> How the ACLs to support this would be modeled deserves some discussion:
> * Should access be scoped to a specific table and CoprocessorProtocol
> extension?
> * Should it be possible to grant access to a CoprocessorProtocol
> implementation globally (regardless of table)?
> * Are per-method restrictions necessary?
> * Should we expose hooks available to endpoint implementors so that they
> could additionally apply their own permission checks? Some CP endpoints may
> want to require READ permissions, others may want to enforce WRITE, or READ +
> WRITE.
> To apply these kinds of checks we would also have to extend the
> RegionObserver interface to provide hooks wrapping HRegion.exec().
