Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6850:
---------------------------------------
IMO, this is not REST specific, but the larger issue of us packaging non client
classes into a fatjar along with the client.
> PlainTextMessageBodyProducer is dangerous
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-6850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6850
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client, REST
> Affects Versions: 0.94.1
> Reporter: Jonathan Leech
>
> - It is my understanding that there is one and only one hbase jar, which
> includes
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.provider.producer.PlainTextMessageBodyProducer,
> which is only used in the REST / jersey server-side implementation.
> - PlainTextMessageBodyProducer claims to provide a text/plain output for
> absolutely any input by calling .toString() on it.
> - If I am a client to HBase, and I do my own REST / jersey, including my own
> custom text/plain writing, by default the jersey stack finds
> PlainTextMessageBodyProducer and uses it instead of mine.
> I could be off base here; so please feel free to change this from a Bug to a
> Feature Request or close it, especially if my assumptions are wrong.
> Workaround: set init-param of com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages to
> limit it to my own packages.
> Recommended fix:
> - provide a client jar and / or a maven pom for hbase-client which doesn't
> include server-side hbase code or dependencies.
> and / or
> - don't return true from isWriteable() for every possible input, or create a
> different custom mime type that other users of the API might be also using,
> and if possible map text/plain to that type in the server.
