Summary: In secure hbase, we should have a fail fast behavoir for unauthenticated user Key: HBASE-6314 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6314 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: security Affects Versions: 0.94.0, 0.92.0 Reporter: Himanshu Vashishtha Priority: Minor In case of unauthenticated users in secure hbase, hbase shell does a connection retry at two levels: a) HConnection: It retries hbase.client.retries.number times b) HTableAdmin: it again retries hbase.client.retries.number times So, hbase shell retries square number of times of the configured setting. We can make it failfast (no retries) in case the user is not authenticated (no valid kerberos credentials). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
