------------------------------
Summary: Make authentication Token retrieval amenable to
coprocessor
Key: HBASE-17439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17439
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ted Yu
In the course of solving HBASE-17435, [~jerryhe] and I noticed that it is
cumbersome for other coprocessor (such as SecureBulkLoadEndpoint) to retrieve
authentication Token from region server.
Currently a Connection is needed to communicate with TokenProvider. Care is
needed not to introduce dead lock on the server side.
This JIRA is to investigate feasibility of bypassing Connection / TokenProvider
in the retrieval of authentication Token for custom coprocessor. This involves
some refactoring around AuthenticationTokenSecretManager.
