--------------------------------------
Summary: Resolve LATEST_TIMESTAMP to current server time before
scanning for ACLs
Key: HBASE-10823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10823
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.98.1
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.99.0, 0.98.2
Storing values with timestamps in the future is probably bad practice and can
lead to surprises. If cells with timestamps in the future have ACLs,
permissions from those ACLs will incorrectly be considered for authorizing the
pending mutation. For sure that will be surprising.
We should be able to avoid this case by resolving LATEST_TIMESTAMP to the
current server time when creating the internal scanner for finding ACLs in the
covered cell set.
Documenting a todo item from a discussion between [~anoop.hbase] and myself.
