--------------------------------
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."
