Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-15942: ------------------------------------- Hm, I'm not sure I'd call this a bug as it's specifically referenced as the correct behavior in our ref guide. Changing this now might cause more confusion than it would fix... :-/ > User with 'RWX' permission of the table should be able to describe the table > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-15942 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15942 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Admin > Reporter: Guang Yang > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-15942.v0.patch > > > Currently only the user who has 'ADMIN' or 'CREATE' permission could describe > the table (via shell), it brings some inconvenience and confusion to those > uses who have RWX permission since they couldn't describe the table to get > the schema. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
