[jira] [Created] (HBASE-13336) Consistent rules for security meta table protections

Andrew Purtell created HBASE-13336:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Consistent rules for security meta table protections
                 Key: HBASE-13336
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13336
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell


The AccessController and VisibilityController do different things regarding protecting their meta tables. The AC allows schema changes and disable/enable if the user has permission. The VC unconditionally disallows all admin actions. Generally, bad things will happen if these meta tables are damaged, disabled, or dropped. The likely outcome is random frequent (or constant) server side op failures with nasty stack traces. We should have consistent and sensible rules for protecting security meta tables.
