> Master getTableDescriptors() which is called by Admin.listTables() has a
> couple of different behaviors depending on how it is called.
> after HBASE-12073 with the AccessController enabled, we now get a "global
> admin" required if listTables() is called without a regex otherwise we return
> only the table that the user can see (we show only the tables that the user
> have access to, which means or the user is a global admin or it has a
> table-level create/admin). We probably should have the second behavior even
> without regex, since I should able to see "my own tables".
> getTableDescriptors() is returning only non system tables. Tools like
> user_permission that are doing "for each listTable(): userPerm(table)" are
> losing the system tables, so stuff like user_permission 'hbase:acls' will not
> result any result.
