Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-15942:
-------------------------------------
Yeah, I think it's what you say. An administrator may not want a user who can
read data in a table to have information about the TTL or details about whether
replication is enabled, for example. My bigger concern though is the fact that
changing it now would be tantamount to a privilege escalation, which could be a
very unwelcome break for people used to doing this as they are currently
documented. Anyone else have thoughts?

> 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
