>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17439
>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> In the course of solving HBASE-17435, [~jerryhe] and I noticed that it is cumbersome for other coprocessor (such as SecureBulkLoadEndpoint) to retrieve authentication Token from region server.
> Currently a Connection is needed to communicate with TokenProvider. Care is needed not to introduce dead lock on the server side.
> This JIRA is to investigate feasibility of bypassing Connection / TokenProvider in the retrieval of authentication Token for custom coprocessor. This involves some refactoring around AuthenticationTokenSecretManager.
