-------------------------------------------
Summary: Replication table should be user-controlled or live in
accumulo namespace
Key: ACCUMULO-3147
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3147
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: replication
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: Josh Elser
Fix For: 1.7.0
At present, it looks like the replication table is managed by/written to by the
system user, yet the table lives in the default namespace, which is where user
tables live.
This appears to violate the namespace model of segregating system tables from
user tables.
There's a few options for resolution:
# Move the replication table into the reserved accumulo system namespace
(there's some complication with this, because the system namespace is currently
static, and the replication table may be created at any time; additionally, if
users are expected to interact with this table... and I'm not sure if they are
at all, the system namespace is probably not appropriate).
# Create an additional reserved system namespace for replication (my least
preferred option).
# Use user credentials to manage/write to this table, rather than the system
user (this is what the tracer/trace table does, and this is my preferred
solution.)
