Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-27493:
-----------------------------------
I think we'd better start a discussion thread on the dev and user mailing list
to grab more feedbacks first before changing the behavior? If we do want to
change the behavior, we still need to discuss which branch can be landed, since
this is a behavior change.
Thanks.
> Allow namespace admins to clone snapshots created by them

> Key: HBASE-27493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27493
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: snapshots
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.5.1
> Reporter: Szabolcs Bukros
> Assignee: Szabolcs Bukros
> Priority: Major
>
> Creating a snapshot requires table admin permissions. But cloning it requires
> global admin permissions unless the user owns the snapshot and wants to
> recreate the original table the snapshot was based on using the same table
> name. This puts unnecessary load on the few people having global admin
> permissions. I would like to relax this rule a bit and allow the owner of the
> snapshot to clone it into any namespace where they have admin permissions
> regardless of the table name used.
