             Summary: Column family and qualifier should be allowed to be set as null in grant shell command
                 Key: HBASE-9302
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9302
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Yu
            Assignee: Ted Yu


In 0.94, grant.rb has the following:
{code}
Grant users specific rights.
Syntax : grant <user> <permissions> [<table> [<column family> [<column qualifier>]]
{code}
In 0.95.2, when I tried to grant permission on a table to user hrt_1, I got some exception:
{code}
hbase(main):003:0> grant 'hrt_1', 'R', 't1'

ERROR: no method 'grant' for arguments (org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.AccessControlProtos.AccessControlService.BlockingStub,org.jruby.RubyString,org.jruby.java.proxies.ArrayJavaProxy,org.jruby.RubyNil,org.jruby.RubyNil,org.jruby.java.proxies.ArrayJavaProxy) on Java::OrgApacheHadoopHbaseProtobuf::ProtobufUtil

    (org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.AccessControlProtos.AccessControlService.BlockingInterface,java.lang.String,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.Permission.Action[])

Here is some help for this command:
Grant users specific rights.
Syntax : grant <user> <permissions> <table> <column family> <column qualifier>

permissions is either zero or more letters from the set "RWXCA".
READ('R'), WRITE('W'), EXEC('X'), CREATE('C'), ADMIN('A')

For example:

    hbase> grant 'bobsmith', 'RWXCA'
    hbase> grant 'bobsmith', 'RW', 't1', 'f1', 'col1'
{code}
Column family and qualifier should be allowed to be set as null in grant shell command
