Francis Liu updated HBASE-8409:
-------------------------------

   Release Note: This patch introduces security privileges to create, alter or drop namespaces. When security is enabled only global admin is allowed to do such operations. Richer namespace privileges will be introduced in HBASE-9206.

Security support for namespaces
-------------------------------

               Key: HBASE-8409
               URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8409
           Project: HBase
        Issue Type: Sub-task
          Reporter: Francis Liu
          Assignee: Vandana Ayyalasomayajula
          Priority: Blocker
           Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.95.2

       Attachments: 8409_095.txt, 8409-addendum.patch, HBASE-8049_trunk.patch, HBASE-8409_2.patch, HBASE-8409_3.patch, HBASE-8409_4.patch, TestNamespaceUpgrade.tgz


This task adds the security piece to the namespace feature. The work related to migration of the existing acl table to the new namespace is remaining and will be completed in the follow up patch. Permissions can be granted to a namespace by the hbase admin, by appending '@' to the namespace name. A user with write or admin permissions on a given namespace can create tables in that namespace. The other privileges (R, X, C ) do not have any special meaning w.r.t namespaces.  Any users of hbase can list tables in a namespace.

The following commands can only be executed by HBase admins.
1. Grant privileges for user on Namespace.
2. Revoke privileges for user on Namespace
Grant Command:
hbase> grant 'tenant-A' 'W' '@N1'
In the above example, the command will grant the user 'tenant-A' write privileges for a namespace named "N1".
Revoke Command:
hbase> revoke 'tenant-A''@N1'
In the above example, the command will revoke  all privileges from user 'tenant-A' for namespace named "N1".
Lets see an example on how privileges work with namespaces.

User "Mike" request for a namespace named "hbase_perf" with the hbase admin.
     whoami: hbase
     hbase shell >> namespace_create 'hbase_perf'
     hbase shell >> grant 'mike', 'W', '@hbase_perf'
Mike creates two tables "table20" and "table50" in the above workspace.
     whoami: mike
     hbase shell >> create 'hbase_perf.table20', 'family1'
     hbase shell >> create 'hbase_perf.table50', 'family1'
     Note: As Mike was able to create tables 'hbase_perf.table20', 'hbase_perf.table50', he becomes the owner of those tables.
     This means he has "RWXCA" perms on those tables.
Another team member of Mike, Alice wants also to share the same workspace "hbase_perf". HBase admin grants Alice also permission to create tables in "hbase_perf" namespace.
     whoami: hbase
     hbase shell >> grant 'alice', 'W', '@hbase_perf'
Now Alice can create new tables under "hbase_perf" namespace, but cannot read,write,alter,delete existing tables in the namespace.

     whoami: alice
     hbase shell >> namespace_list_tables 'hbase_perf'
                    hbase_perf.table20
                    hbase_perf.table50
     hbase shell >> scan 'hbase_perf.table20'
                    AccessDeniedException

If Alice wants to read or write to existing tables in the "hbase_perf" namespace, hbase admins need to explicitly grant permission.

     whoami: hbase
     hbase shell >> grant 'alice', 'RW', 'hbase_perf.table20'
     hbase shell >> grant 'alice', 'RW', 'hbase_perf.table50'
