Erich Hochmuth created HBASE-6444:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Expose the ability to set custom HTTP Request Headers for
the REST client used by RemoteHTable
Key: HBASE-6444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6444
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: rest
Reporter: Erich Hochmuth
My corporate security office (ISO) requires that all http traffic get routed
through a Web Access Management layer
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_access_management)
Our Hadoop cluster has been segmented by a virtual network with all access to
HBase from outside clients being managed through HBase Stargate rest server.
The corporate WAM system requires that all http clients authenticate with it
first before making any http request to any http service in the corporate
network. After the http client authenticates with the WAM system the WAM system
returns the client a set of values that must be inserted into a http cookie and
request header of all future http requests to other http clients.
This would mean that all requests through the RemoteHTable interface would
require that this cookie and request header be set as part of the http request.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.client.Client looks like the appropriate place
that this functionality would need to be plugged into.
