> On the dev meetup notes in Shenzhen after HBaseCon Asia, there is a topic about the permission to read hfiles on HDFS directly.
> {quote}
> For client-side scanner going against hfiles directly; is there a means of being able to pass the permissions from hbase to hdfs?
> {quote}
> And at Xiaomi we also face the same problem. {{SnapshotScanner}} is much faster and consumes less resources, but only super use has the ability to read hfile directly on HDFS.
> So here we want to use HDFS ACL to address this problem.
> https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html#ACLs_File_System_API
> The basic idea is to set acl and default acl on the ns/table/cf directory on HDFS for the users who have the permission to read the table on HBase.
> Suggestions are welcomed.
