Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-13768:
----------------------------------------
Adding a separate ACL entry for the superuser is new. Can we check if the
superuser == hbaseUser and avoid a duplicate ACL in that case? Minor nit.
+1 on including the IT in this change. Looks nice.
> ZooKeeper znodes are bootstrapped with insecure ACLs in a secure configuration

> A logic error causes HBase in most secure configuration deployments to handle
> its coordination state in ZooKeeper via insecure ACLs. Anyone with remote
> unauthenticated network access to the ZooKeeper quorum, which by definition
> includes all HBase clients, can make use of this opening to violate the
> operational integrity of the system. For example, critical znodes can be
> deleted, causing outages. It is possible to introduce rogue replication
> endpoints. It is possible to direct the distributed log splitting facility to
> split arbitrary files in HDFS.
