Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6222:
---------------------------------------
If HBASE-5416 was available the AccessController could add or wrap any filters
on the Scan with a filter that excludes the ACL CF since the
AccessControlFilter doesn't consult that data inline with scanner iteration. If
5416 is pretty close it would enable an optimization here.
Longer term though most likely the AccessControlFilter will have ACL data
available inline with the KVs (as tags). See the alternate implementation
attached to this JIRA for an example of how that could work. The separate ACL
CF would go away.
If cell tags can make it into 0.96, then the ACL CF could go away now. 5416
would not be useful in that case.

> Saw an interesting article:
> http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/sasc-accumulo-language-pro-open-source-say-proponents/2012-06-14
> "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?
