--------------------------------
Summary: Visibility label security at limited localized level
Key: HBASE-12823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12823
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 0.98.10
Reporter: Jerry He
Fix For: 2.0.0
Currently, if visibility label security is enabled for a HBase instance, after
VisibilityController is configured, the cell level visibility label filtering
will kick in across the HBase instance.
Cell level visibility label filtering has non-negligible performance impact.
On the other hand, in many use cases, only a small portion of the overall data
needs visibility label protection.
If we can support visibility label security at a limited and localized level,
we will broaden the use cases and the adoption of this feature.
We should be able to support visibility label security at per table or per
column family level. This is quite common in many other HBase features.
Cell level visibility label filtering will only be enabled and kick in for the
tables or column families that the user designates.
