If user would like to set visibility label per column family, how would
they do that? Default visibility string may be too broad but setting attributes
for each column qualifier can be error-prone as those configuration need to be
updated as new qualifier emerges. Isn't it beneficial to support column family
level default visibility? Probably by user defined dynamic property can be used.

> HBase supports visibility labels, but you can't use them from NiFi because
> there is no way to set them. The existing processors and services should be
> upgraded to handle this capability.
