Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12745:
----------------------------------------
bq. Since they're IA.Public, shouldn't they be deprecated for a full major
version before removal?
We've been taking this shortcut with experimental APIs in 0.98 - anything
requiring HFile v3 is experimental until 1.0: tags, cell ACLs, the VC,
encryption - where we will immediately mark deprecated in 0.98 and remove in
1.0. Agreed this should be documented, mentioned in release notes, etc. If we
want to discontinue this practice or do something different in this case, I
have no strong opinion either way.
> 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.
