Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-6444:
------------------------------------
I looked into the cookie syntax and found out that server sends "Set-Cookie"
(header) to client, and client sends back "Cookie" (header).
So I updated the patch not to update the "Cookie" header since it seems useless.
So now, once the RemoteHTable is created, client application needs to get the
httpClient and handle the "Set-Cookie" logic and set the "Cookie" header
properly. The idea is that we leave the cookie business to client application,
how is that?

> 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.
