Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6444:
---------------------------------------
+1 Jimmy, looks fine. On commit consider updating the manual and also add
javadoc to the Client class that mentions what gets sent in the "Cookie" header
will be auto updated from the last response, for any subsequent request
originated by that Client instance. Otherwise we're going to hear about that on
the list sooner or later.
> Expose the ability to set custom HTTP Request Headers for the REST client
> used by RemoteHTable

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rest
> Reporter: Erich Hochmuth
> Assignee: Jimmy Xiang
> Attachments: HBASE-6444-0.94.patch, HBASE-6444.patch, trunk-6444.patch

> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h

> 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.
