Peter Somogyi updated HBASE-21163: ---------------------------------- Component/s: (was: hbase-operator-tools) backup&restore > Support backup-and-restore operations without Hbase Super user privilege > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-21163 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21163 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: backup&restore > Reporter: Sujit P > Assignee: Vladimir Rodionov > Priority: Critical > Labels: Backup/Restore > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > Hello Team, > I am opening this Apache Jira to request for an analysis on considering > following problem statement: > Currently backup-and-restore utility is designed to work with "hbase" > superuser privileges. > I see at-least couple concerns on that, may be more, will add more later on: > * For smaller organizations with less than 20 hbase tables or couple of > clusters, it is manageable, hbase admins. However, for larger organizations > or larger clusters, that would need providing hbase super user access to many > people to manage such operations which can be a security risk on source > cluster. > * In certain scenarios, it may be typical to have one DR Cluster in remote > data center to store backup tables, and having super privileges for all > tables in remote cluster is another risk for same reasons above. > I suggest to review into making backup and restore without hbase super > privileges . > Tenants or application admins may have certainly have admin access to > relevant tables/namespaces/snapshots. > Here is an example on what I am proposing from RDBMS : > [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16926_01/doc.121/e16564/configure_users_classes.htm#OBADM144] > Thanks > > PS: Forgive me if I hadn't opened my second apache Jira correct way, happy to > correct it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
