Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-11996:
----------------------------------------
bq. Just need to initialize a metadata value for "owner" with getCurrentUser()
upon table creation.
We almost already have this, and deprecated...
HTableDescriptor:
{code}
@Deprecated
public void setOwner(User owner) {
setOwnerString(owner != null ? owner.getShortName() : null);
}
// used by admin.rb:alter(table_name,*args) to update owner.
@Deprecated
public void setOwnerString(String ownerString) {
if (ownerString != null) {
setValue(OWNER_KEY, ownerString);
} else {
remove(OWNER_KEY);
}
}
@Deprecated
public String getOwnerString() {
if (getValue(OWNER_KEY) != null) {
return Bytes.toString(getValue(OWNER_KEY));
}
// Note that every table should have an owner (i.e. should have OWNER_KEY
set).
// hbase:meta and -ROOT- should return system user as owner, not null (see
// MasterFileSystem.java:bootstrap()).
return null;
}
{code}
Right now only the AccessController will set OWNER_KEY on the HTD if it is
active when the table is created.
> Add "Table Creator" to the HTD
