> Right now we have some inconsistency wrt sending back tags on read. We do
> this in scan when using Java client(Codec based cell block encoding). But
> during a Get operation or when a pure PB based Scan comes we are not sending
> back the tags. So any of the below fix we have to do
> 1. Send back tags in missing cases also. But sending back visibility
> expression/ cell ACL is not correct.
> 2. Don't send back tags in any case. This will a problem when a tool like
> ExportTool use the scan to export the table data. We will miss exporting the
> cell visibility/ACL.
> 3. Send back tags based on some condition. It has to be per scan basis.
> Simplest way is pass some kind of attribute in Scan which says whether to
> send back tags or not. But believing some thing what scan specifies might not
> be correct IMO. Then comes the way of checking the user who is doing the
> scan. When a HBase super user doing the scan then only send back tags. So
> when a case comes like Export Tool's the execution should happen from a super
> user.
> So IMO we should go with #3.
> Patch coming soon.
