Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-14122:
----------------------------------------
Patch looks great.
One question
{code}
/**
64 * Return true if cell authorization is supported and enabled
65 * @param connection The connection to use
66 * @return true if cell authorization is supported and enabled, false
otherwise
67 * @throws IOException
68 */
69 public static boolean isCellAuthorizationSupported(Connection
connection) throws IOException {
{code}
API checks whether the authorization is supported AND enabled. The API name
have to be XXXEnabled? Current thing also ok. Just asking.

> Add a client API for determining if the server side supports cell level
> security.
> Ask the master, assuming as we do in many other instances that the master and
> regionservers all have a consistent view of site configuration.
> Return {{true}} if all features required for cell level security are present,
> {{false}} otherwise, or throw {{UnsupportedOperationException}} if the master
> does not have support for the RPC call.
