Before correcting in ruby scripts, I tried to edit/flush META after giving
permissions appropriate permissions on META table to a user (non-super user). I
was expecting the operation to succeed. But it didn't due to above piece of
code.
bq. What are the exceptions to that rule?
In one of our scenario, owner of a table needs to pre-create regions (>=1000)
by directly adding entries to META & flushes META.
If we remove the snippet of code which I quoted in my previous comments, META
will be treated as any other table.
Should we proceed with removing this piece of code?
Note: Irrespective of this change, we may still needs to correct the ruby
scripts as discussed on dev mailing list. Will file a JIRA separately.
