----------------------------------------

[~Huang Xiaomeng] Thanks for taking the initiative!

>From the initial patch, I get the impression that you are trying to create a HBase binding, similar to Hive or Solr. Now that HBase already has implemented extensive authorization subsystem. The HBase community is actively working on making it better (eg the Cell level authorization added recently). With this approach, we are pretty much re-implementing that. Also the HBase authorization interfaces are private at this time. Extending those in our binding will make us potentially incompatible with future HBase releases.

An alternative could be to integrate Sentry metadata service with HBase authorization. This will enable HBase users to take advantage of Sentry's role base access model and leverage common tools like Hue for auth management. On the other hand, we don't have to reimplement the HBase authorization in Sentry.
Let me know your thoughts.
