[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1018) Client does not give informative message when user can not read table

["Keith Turner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1018?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13591012#comment-13591012 ] 

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1018:
----------------------------------------

MRE is only constructed by the TSBW (TabletServerBatchWriter).  The TSBW could pass its Instance to the MRE constructor.  Then MRE could use that Instance when calling methods on o.a.a.c.c.i.Tables.

If you are interested, the following changes would be nice :

 * Make the format() function you added to MRE reduce Map<KeyExtent,Set<SecurityErrorCode>> to Map<TableNameIdString, Set<SecurityErrorCode>> and print that out.   That would be much easier for a human to read.  If someone is interested in the details they can call getAuthorizationFailuresMap().
 * I am not sure all of the messages you added will have both table id and table name. Something like "tablename(tableid)" for all the messages would be nice.
 * I believe the scanState.tableName in thrift scanner is misnamed, I think that is actually a tableId.

> Saw this in 1.4, not sure if its an issue in later versions.
> Assume a user has an application that is reading from many tables and does not have permission to read from one table.  In this case the exception does not tell them which table they can not read from.  If not familiar with the application, it can take a while to track this issue down on a system with many tables.
