Sean Busbey updated HBASE-20080: -------------------------------- Component/s: Usability security > 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 > Components: security, Usability > Reporter: Mike Thomsen > Priority: Major > > 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." -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
