Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12231:
----------------------------------------
If doing it this way I think we should default the REST auth mode to the HBase
auth setting if a specific REST authentication mode isn't specified in the
configuration.
> REST gateway authentication should be independent of Hadoop/HBase security
> configuration.

> ecosystem.
> The current implementation does not allow that and needs to be modified.
