What I'd really like is for us to come up with a comprehensive solution that
implements all these improvements and push for it to be a major feature of an
upcoming release (1.7? maybe call it 2.0?). Without that comprehensive
solution, I'm reluctant to get on board for this in 1.6.

The problem is we really won't be able to come up with a comprehensive solution
working in a bubble. We need to iteratively work on this, not push it down the
road and say it will be super duper good by then.

> Currently the Authorizor interface is used to request a set of authorizations
> which then get checked against the authorizations a user is attempting to
> use. However, some security systems only support the ability to validate
> authorizations/permissions/roles and not provide a list. That makes these
> systems (entirely) incompatible with Accumulo when they don't have to be.
> We should switch the behavior of Accumulo to ask the Authorizor (via
> SecurityOperations) if the auths are valid. The existing getAuths
> functionality will still use that call and would have potentially limited
> support, similar to the potentially limited support of any of the set
> operations.
