Will main RPCs like Get, Put, etc (apart from the admin RPCs) also be secured after that change? Any extra overhead in these RPCs would be unacceptable in our use case.

In the context of the discussion on this issue, the answer I think must be yes. We split out the security components and in fact developed the coprocessor framework exactly so security would not add overhead in response processing if security features were not required. (Strictly speaking each coprocessor hook adds ~100ns but that is unavoidable and we take great care to limit the number of hook sites in hot code.)

> HBASE-11126 mentions concurrency issues we are running into as the security code increases in sophistication, due to current placement of coprocessor hooks, and proposes a solution to those issues with the expectation that security code remains outside of core in coprocessors. However, as an alternative we could consider moving all AccessController and VisibilityController related code into core. Worth discussing?
