Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-11481:
----------------------------------------
Can we fix the capitalization of HBase in the first line to be 'hbase'?
Otherwise lgtm +1.
{code}
Only the HBase user can read from
- * snapshot files and data files. HBase also enforces security because all the
requests are handled
- * by the server layer, and the user cannot read from the data files directly.
+ * snapshot files and data files.

> TableSnapshotInputFormat javadoc wrongly claims HBase "enforces security"

> {quote}
> The snapshot input format operates on HFiles directly, that's how it gains
> its performance benefits. No requests are handled by the 'server layer'.
> Later the Javadoc correctly states the implications:

> Note that, given other users access to read from snapshot/data files will
> completely circumvent the access control enforced by HBase.
