This property has been implemented in hadoop to handle any endpoint irrespective of whether it is metrics or something else. Why don't we follow same approach.? Do we really need to handle just metrics endpoint and have the other property `hbase.security.authentication.ui.metrics.protected`? The property will become redundant. A generic implementation like the one in hadoop sound more useful to me. Also the name of the config will confuse others. As it seems like a generic whitelist. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
