>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.98.20
>            Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
>
> We ran into an interesting phenomenon which can easily render a cluster unusable.
> We loaded some tests data into a test table and forced a manual compaction through the UI. We have some compaction hooks implemented in a region observer, which writes back to another HBase table when the compaction finishes. We noticed that this coprocessor is not setup correctly, it seems the security context is missing.
> The interesting part is that this _only_ happens when the compaction is triggere through the UI. Automatic compactions (major or minor) or when triggered via the HBase shell (folling a kinit) work fine. Only the UI-triggered compactions cause this issues and lead to essentially neverending compactions, immovable regions, etc.
> Not sure what exactly the issue is, but I wanted to make sure I capture this.
> [~apurtell], [~ghelmling], FYI.
