Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-6104:
----------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 0.96.0
> Require EXEC permission to call coprocessor endpoints
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-6104
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6104
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: coprocessors, security
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: Gary Helmling
>
> The EXEC action currently exists as only a placeholder in access control. It
> should really be used to enforce access to coprocessor endpoint RPC calls,
> which are currently unrestricted.
> How the ACLs to support this would be modeled deserves some discussion:
> * Should access be scoped to a specific table and CoprocessorProtocol
> extension?
> * Should it be possible to grant access to a CoprocessorProtocol
> implementation globally (regardless of table)?
> * Are per-method restrictions necessary?
> * Should we expose hooks available to endpoint implementors so that they
> could additionally apply their own permission checks? Some CP endpoints may
> want to require READ permissions, others may want to enforce WRITE, or READ +
> WRITE.
> To apply these kinds of checks we would also have to extend the
> RegionObserver interface to provide hooks wrapping HRegion.exec().
