[jira] [Created] (HBASE-22377) Provide HBaseAdmin API to check the
existence of a namespace, which does not require ADMIN permissions
Chinmay Kulkarni created HBASE-22377:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Provide HBaseAdmin API to check the existence of a namespace, which does not require ADMIN permissions
Key: HBASE-22377
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22377
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3.2
Reporter: Chinmay Kulkarni
Currently, to check the existence of a namespace, clients can use HBaseAdmin#getNamespaceDescriptor. eEventually on the server-side, this calls AccessController#preGetNamespaceDescriptor which tries to acquire ADMIN permissions for that namespace.
We should have an API for clients to be able to check the existence of a namespace, without necessarily obtaining the namespace descriptor. Such an API would not require ADMIN permissions.
