----------------------------------------
bq. btw, as far as I know connection.getRegionLocator(TableName) is public and
it has no ACLs restriction. is this something that we have to restrict? ping
Andrew Purtell
My guess is we haven't to date because all this information is available to all
clients through a scan of META, which by design must be available for reads by
all.

> Sometimes it is helpful to get the region location given a specified key,
> without having to scan meta and look at the keys.
> so, having in the shell something like:
> {noformat}
> hbase(main):008:0> locate_region 'testtb', 'z'
> HOST REGION
>
> localhost:42006 {ENCODED => 7486fee0129f0e3a3e671fec4a4255d5,
> NAME =>
> 'testtb,m,1449508841130.7486fee0129f0e3a3e671fec4a4255d5.',
> STARTKEY => 'm', ENDKEY => ''}
> 1 row(s) in 0.0090 seconds
> {noformat}
