Laxman commented on HBASE-6238: ------------------------------- context: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-dev/201206.mbox/%3CCA%2BRK%3D_C%3D0JnJ0CCJVYCicrWCn6gPn1zoBDahUP6xaKGZPYDBVA%40mail.gmail.com%3E Before correcting in ruby scripts, I tried to edit/flush META after giving permissions appropriate permissions on META table to a user (non-super user). I was expecting the operation to succeed. But it didn't due to above piece of code. bq. What are the exceptions to that rule? In one of our scenario, owner of a table needs to pre-create regions (>=1000) by directly adding entries to META & flushes META. If we remove the snippet of code which I quoted in my previous comments, META will be treated as any other table. Should we proceed with removing this piece of code? Note: Irrespective of this change, we may still needs to correct the ruby scripts as discussed on dev mailing list. Will file a JIRA separately. > Grant on Meta Table is not taking affect. > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6238 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6238 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: security > Affects Versions: 0.94.0, 0.96.0, 0.94.1 > Reporter: Laxman > Assignee: Laxman > Labels: acl, security > > User is not able to perform authorized operations on Meta. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
