Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-246:
---------------------------------------
bq. Correction - I am proposing four levels for unauthorized scan: SILENT,
WARN, ERROR, LOCK.
That interesting, and very different from what I was thinking. Those four
level imply a table level configuration, which implies a user having permission
to set that configuration.
I was thinking of a scanner configuration that a user could set to either
silently intersect or error. It would default to the current behavior or
erroring.

> When a user creates a scanner a set of Authorizations is passed. If the
> authorizations passed to the scanner are not a subset of the user's
> authorizations, then an exception is thrown. An alternative would be to
> intersect the set of scan authorizations with the user's authorizations.
> Many users have had trouble understanding the "silent intersection" behavior,
> which resulted in switching to throwing an Exception. However, in situations
> where the user's authorizations are lazily updated, and for very long running
> scans, intersection would be preferable. Possible fixes are 1) adding a flag
> to indicate whether to intersect or throw an exception or 2) making it easier
> for the user to perform the intersection manually (which would fix some
> issues, but not the long-running scans).
