stack commented on HBASE-5371:
------------------------------
bq. What about re-changing the version to 1, since we just added a new method,
but not changed anything on the wire, it should be compatible. The only catch
is that if you invoke the new API from a new client, but the server is using
the old version, you would get a NoSuchMethod or smt. Is that asking for too
much, wdyt?
I think it a good idea. Test an old client talking to a new w/o changing the
version. See what happens. If it works, lets get it into 0.92.
> Introduce AccessControllerProtocol.checkPermissions(Permission[] permissons)
> API

> We need to introduce something like
> AccessControllerProtocol.checkPermissions(Permission[] permissions) API, so
> that clients can check access rights before carrying out the operations. We
> need this kind of operation for HCATALOG-245, which introduces authorization
> providers for hbase over hcat. We cannot use getUserPermissions() since it
> requires ADMIN permissions on the global/table level.
