Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12470:
----------------------------------------
bq. Also the client should be determined to know whether it is really a
legitmate user. A malicious client could claim to be a legitmate user and ask
for a codec that could send across the tags. The server should be able to
clearly identify such cases.
That's why you'd negotiate codecs _after_ kerberos authentication.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12470
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.98.6.1
> Reporter: Kevin Odell
>
> There is currently no way to determine which labels are applied to a cell
> without using the HFile tool to dump each HFile and then translating the
> output back to the hbase:labels table. This is quite tedious on larger
> tables. Since this could be a security risk perhaps we make it tunable with
> hbase.superuser.can.veiw.cells or something along those lines?
