Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-15942:
----------------------------------------
bq. I believe we store encryption keys in HTD / HCD which is considered
sensitive data.
Correct. However furthermore a user can put any metadata they want into HTD or
HCD and so both structures must be considered potentially sensitive on that
score as well.
> User with 'RWX' permission of the table should be able to describe the table

> Currently only the user who has 'ADMIN' or 'CREATE' permission could describe
