Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-18659:
--------------------------------------
Looks like this has basically been implemented and applied on 2.3. Any
objection to moving out the last subtask to be an independent task, and we can
close this parent issue as resolved against 2.3.0?
> Use HDFS ACL to give user the ability to read snapshot directly on HDFS

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Duo Zhang
> Assignee: Yi Mei
> Priority: Major
>
> On the dev meetup notes in Shenzhen after HBaseCon Asia, there is a topic
> about the permission to read hfiles on HDFS directly.
> {quote}
> For client-side scanner going against hfiles directly; is there a means of
> being able to pass the permissions from hbase to hdfs?
> {quote}
> And at Xiaomi we also face the same problem. {{SnapshotScanner}} is much
> faster and consumes less resources, but only super use has the ability to
> read hfile directly on HDFS.
> So here we want to use HDFS ACL to address this problem.
> https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html#ACLs_File_System_API
> The basic idea is to set acl and default acl on the ns/table/cf directory on
> HDFS for the users who have the permission to read the table on HBase.
> Suggestions are welcomed.
