Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-13375:
----------------------------------------
bq.what's the difference between system and super users?
Super users are those which come from the xml configuration where as the system
user is the user who started the server process. All these considered as super
users of HBase. Make sense? But we can make the name simple getSuperUsers()
and just add doc that it include which all users.
> Provide HBase superuser higher priority over other users in the RPC handling

> HBASE-13351 annotates Master RPCs so that RegionServer RPCs are treated with
> a higher priority compared to user RPCs (and they are handled by a separate
> set of handlers, etc.). It may be good to stretch this to users too - hbase
> superuser (configured via hbase.superuser) gets higher priority over other
> users in the RPC handling. That way the superuser can always perform
> administrative operations on the cluster even if all the normal priority
> handlers are occupied (for example, we had a situation where all the master's
> handlers were tied up with many simultaneous createTable RPC calls from
> multiple users and the master wasn't able to perform any operations initiated
> by the admin). (Discussed this some with [~enis] and [~elserj]).
> Does this make sense to others?
