stack commented on HBASE-16700: ------------------------------- [~clayb] Thanks for patch. Suggest add a release note since this a nice new feature. Just write something that would work for an operator audience. I think you know this perspective (smile). I see the added test can fail: https://builds.apache.org/view/All/job/HBase-Trunk_matrix/jdk=JDK%201.8%20(latest),label=Hadoop/2135/testReport/junit/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access/TestCoprocessorWhitelistMasterObserver/org_apache_hadoop_hbase_security_access_TestCoprocessorWhitelistMasterObserver/ It failed also on a hadoopqa build. What you think? Should it be a large test so it has more time to run or did something go wrong in this run. Thanks. > Allow for coprocessor whitelisting > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16700 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16700 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Coprocessors > Reporter: Clay B. > Assignee: Clay B. > Priority: Minor > Labels: security > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-16700.000.patch, HBASE-16700.001.patch, > HBASE-16700.002.patch, HBASE-16700.003.patch, HBASE-16700.004.patch, > HBASE-16700.005.patch, HBASE-16700.006.patch, HBASE-16700.007.patch, > HBASE-16700.008.patch > > > Today one can turn off all non-system coprocessors with > {{hbase.coprocessor.user.enabled}} however, this disables very useful things > like Apache Phoenix's coprocessors. Some tenants of a multi-user HBase may > also need to run bespoke coprocessors. But as an operator I would not want > wanton coprocessor usage. Ideally, one could do one of two things: > * Allow coprocessors defined in {{hbase-site.xml}} -- this can only be > administratively changed in most cases > * Allow coprocessors from table descriptors but only if the coprocessor is > whitelisted -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
