[jira] [Created] (HBASE-8660) [rest] support secure REST access

Jimmy Xiang created HBASE-8660:
----------------------------------

             Summary: [rest] support secure REST access
                 Key: HBASE-8660
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8660
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: REST, security
            Reporter: Jimmy Xiang


REST interface is accessed over http, which is most likely done from outside of a HBase cluster, perhaps over internet.  It will be great if we can make it secure.  To be secure, we need to:

1. authenticate the caller,
2. check authorization if needed,
3. make the connection secure (https)
