Lars George commented on HBASE-6222:
------------------------------------
I am thinking of moving the tags between the key and the value of the KV. The
existence would need to be tracked somehow, so we could add a single byte as a
bit field to flag the presence. Or add a new type value like PUT_WITH_TAGS or
some such. That would leave existing KVs the same and only the code needs to be
enhanced to enable the actual security layer - which would be a system level
coprocessor I presume.
> Add per-KeyValue Security, get federal funding for HBase?

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Reporter: stack

> Saw an interesting article:
> http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/sasc-accumulo-language-pro-open-source-say-proponents/2012-06-14
> "The Senate Armed Services Committee version of the fiscal 2013 national
> defense authorization act (S. 3254) would require DoD agencies to foreswear
> the Accumulo NoSQL database after Sept. 30, 2013, unless the DoD CIO
> certifies that there exists either no viable commercial open source database
> with security features comparable to [Accumulo] (such as the HBase or
> Cassandra databases)..."
> Not sure what a 'commercial open source database' is, and I'm not sure whats
> going on in the article, but tra-la-la'ing, if we had per-KeyValue 'security'
> like Accumulo's, we might put ourselves in the running for federal
> contributions?
