Fixed with switch to thrift 0.9
> Thrift 0.8 boolean RPCs can't throw errors
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: ACCUMULO-696

> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client

>
> Thrift 0.8 has a standing issue with boolean RPCs which default to FALSE when
> errors are thrown. The only operations this affects are authenticateUser,
> hasSsytemPermission, and hasTablePermission. Failing closed like it does
> prevents any real issues, it just throws off the security random walk test,
> as well as some of the normally defined behavior.
> Up until release, we'll leave it as is. Once it comes to release time, if a
> fixed version of thrift isn't available, we can either change teh defined
> behavior (I'm not a fan) or tweak the 3 thrift generated methods where the
> problem lies. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
