> This issue is in lieu with HBASE-10322. In case of export tool, when the
> cells with visibility labels are exported using a super user we should be
> able to export the data. But with the current implementation, the super user
> would also be able to view cells that has visibility labels associated with
> the superuser. The idea of HBASE-10322 is to strip out tags based on user
> and if so this change is necessary for export tool to work with Visibility.
> ACL already has a concept of global admins.
