-------------------------------------
Summary: Replication access control should be based on destination
table
Key: HBASE-15256
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15256
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Replication, security
Reporter: Gary Helmling
HBASE-12916 added access control for replication sinks, where previously it was
missing. However, the access control check is only enforced by checking for a
global write permission. This is both less granular than the check could be
and less intuitive (access is denied even if the source cell has write
permission to the table being replicated).
There is obviously more performance overhead from doing more granular checks,
but if we only do checks on the distinct set of tables/cfs being written, I
think the trade-off might be worth it.
