Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-10322:
----------------------------------------
And if making tags "first class" we will have to look at thorny issues like
deciding what user is allowed to attach what tags or what user is allowed to
see what tags. There's a lot involved with it and I think we will end up
punting on it all, but we can save this discussion for the next JIRA

> 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.
