Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7066:
---------------------------------------
bq. Passing information out of methods via exceptions is always a bit weird.
Maybe in the general case but throwing an access denied exception if a security
policy check seems natural, common, and unsurprising to me.
bq. Can we instead make the coprocessor protocol be more explicit?
One early thought was an Enum instead of a Boolean. We went with "simpler is
better". Changing this internal framework detail if we need it now seems
reasonable to me.
