["Gary Helmling (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Gary Helmling updated HBASE-6788:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-6788.patch

Here's an initial patch dropping AuthenticationProtocol and converting TokenProvider to a PB service.

I've tested this on a local secure Hadoop + HBase setup and had token authentication working for a simple RowCounter MR job.  I'm still looking to see if there's a clean way to extend TestTokenAuthentication to better test this in the absence of Kerberos.

> With coprocessor endpoints now exposed as protobuf defined services, we should convert over all of our built-in endpoints to PB services.
> AccessControllerProtocol was converted as part of HBASE-5448, but the authentication token provider still needs to be changed.
