joshelser commented on issue #884: HBASE-23347 Allowable custom authentication methods for RPCs URL: https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/884#issuecomment-565172308 > I have a question concerning compatibility though it is supposed to be non-compat in 3.0 and it can be set aside as an upcoming if we want: have you tested 1.x or 2.x client talks to 3.x server? Nothing on the wire has actually changed. We're still using the auth byte and parsing things exactly how we did before. But, no, I've not explicitly tested that. > IIRC the main use case was the ability to enable security on an existing cluster without downtime HBASE-14700 Support a "permissive" mode for secure clusters to allow "simple" auth clients Thanks! I think this is less of an issue now. I had punted on this originally, but Wellington's reviews lead me back here and fixed it up (at least, according to the unit tests).
