------------------------------------
Summary: Have HBase shell warn users when cell visibility and
simple authentication are in use together
Key: HBASE-20080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20080
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mike Thomsen
When simple authentication and cell visibility are enabled, it's pretty easy
for users (particularly new ones) to accidentally log in as the same user that
is running HBase. That can lead to it looking like cell visibility isn't
working when it really is.
This is probably an issue mainly for local installations on development
machines, but it should show a warning saying something like "HBase is running
as \{principle} and you logged in as \{principle}. Cell visibility is enabled,
but will return all rows because you are acting as the superuser."
