Jerry He commented on HBASE-12745:
----------------------------------
Thanks.
I attached a v7-0.98. It is based on v7 master version.
It has updates to address [~anoop.hbase]'s comments in the RB for backward
compatibility in 0.98.
Regarding backward compatibility, the changes will not break client/server or
rolling upgrade in anyway.
But since VisibilityLabelService is an interface, adding a new method
getGroupAuths() will break any existing custom implementation if the custom
implementation is used on the new server since the new method is always invoked
on the server.
You may want to review the relevant updates.
> Visibility Labels: support visibility labels for user groups.

> The thinking is that we should support visibility labels to be associated
> with user groups.
> We will then be able grant visibility labels to a group in addition to
> individual users, which provides convenience and usability.
> We will use '@group' to denote a group name, as similarly done in
> AcccessController.
> For example,
> {code}
> set_auths '@group1', ['SECRET','PRIVATE']
> {code}
> {code}
> get_auth '@group1'
> {code}
> A user belonging to 'group1' will have all the visibility labels granted to
> 'group1'
> We'll also support super user groups as specified in hbase-site.xml.
> The code update will mainly be on the server side VisibilityLabelService
> implementation.
