Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6222:
---------------------------------------
I forgot to mention something and want to highlight something.
The new KVs for Append and Increment inherit the KV tags (hence ACLs) of the
value(s) they are updating. This is both logical and works around the fact that
Increment is not a Mutation (see HBASE-7114).
If [~v.himanshu] or someone else wants to implement Accumulo-style visibility
labels (or if I ultimately end up doing it), then I encourage following the
same design principles:
- Coprocessor based implementation
- Minimal to no changes to core code
- Perhaps just building on a KV generic tags facility
- Use OperationWithAttributes#{get,set}Attribute for passing through your new
metadata
Then, you can see how what I describe above and perhaps something else that
implements Accumulo-style visibility labels can be consistent in deployment and
API details *and can be easily stacked on top of each other*.

> Saw an interesting article:

> "The Senate Armed Services Committee version of the fiscal 2013 national
> defense authorization act (S. 3254) would require DoD agencies to foreswear
> the Accumulo NoSQL database after Sept. 30, 2013, unless the DoD CIO
> certifies that there exists either no viable commercial open source database
> with security features comparable to [Accumulo] (such as the HBase or
> Cassandra databases)..."
> Not sure what a 'commercial open source database' is, and I'm not sure whats
> going on in the article, but tra-la-la'ing, if we had per-KeyValue 'security'
> like Accumulo's, we might put ourselves in the running for federal
> contributions?
