------------------------------------------------
bq.If we remove tags from Put, how do tags make it into the system at all?
The agreement is that 0.98.0 will not support tags from client side. all tags
will be server side only. As ACL and Visibility does tags will be passed via
Operation Attributes and the respective CPs will take care.
If really user needs to add tags, then he has to write his own CP, pass tags
via Operation Attributes and use it. (This is ideally not easy for the user),
but as we have this stripping tags from server to clients using codec, we have
finalised on this. Thoughts? [~saint....@gmail.com]

> 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.
