----------------------------------------
Am ok with current way (4). Was saying that we can document it clearly in
javadoc and in book. (VisibilityClient also pls update doc)
> Visibility Labels: support visibility labels for user groups.

> The thinking is that we should support visibility labels to be associated
> with user groups.
> We will then be able grant visibility labels to a group in addition to
> individual users, which provides convenience and usability.
> We will use '@group' to denote a group name, as similarly done in
> AcccessController.
> For example,
> {code}
> set_auths '@group1', ['SECRET','PRIVATE']
> {code}
> {code}
> get_auth '@group1'
> {code}
> A user belonging to 'group1' will have all the visibility labels granted to
> 'group1'
> We'll also support super user groups as specified in hbase-site.xml.
> The code update will mainly be on the server side VisibilityLabelService
> implementation.
