Laxman commented on HBASE-6222:
-------------------------------
Good to see lot of interest and discussion in this.
I couldn't understand the above discussion completely.
But, I've some basic questions.
1) Do we really have any known use-cases for KV based access control?
2) Does scalability affected badly for the users who needs at KV level access
control?
How about other approach of supporting access control through *HBase views*?
If we want to restrict access for a CF/CQ and a set of rows to a user/group
then create a view for that set and control access through view.
It's just an idea based on my understanding of RDBMS (Oracle). Not really sure
if this is really feasible in HBase. Please respond with use-cases and comments.

> Saw an interesting article:

> "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?
