Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6188:
---------------------------------------
The approach looks good to me.
We must deprecate and maintain owner related concepts and methods in the API
for one successive major release after the deprecation, but can replace their
implementation and modify the internals of admin.rb at any time.
> Remove the concept of table owner

> The table owner concept was a design simplification in the initial drop.
> First, the design changes under review means only a user with GLOBAL CREATE
> permission can create a table, which will probably be an administrator.
> Then, granting implicit permissions may lead to oversights and it adds
> unnecessary conditionals to our code. So instead the administrator with
> GLOBAL CREATE permission should make the appropriate grants at table create
> time.
