Yeah, thanks for this Ram. Although in my testing I have found that a client 
user attempting to use the visibility expression resolver doesn't seem to have 
the ability to scan the hbase:labels table for the full list of labels and thus 
can't get the ordinals/tags to add to the cell. Does the client user attempting 
to use the VisibilityExpressionResolver have to have some special permissions?

Scan of hbase:labels by client user:

hbase(main):003:0> scan 'hbase:labels'
ROW                                         COLUMN+CELL
 \x00\x00\x00\x01                           column=f:\x00, 
timestamp=1465216652662, value=system
1 row(s) in 0.0650 seconds

Scan of hbase:labels by hbase user:

hbase(main):001:0> scan 'hbase:labels'
ROW                                         COLUMN+CELL

Thanks Ram.. Ya that seems the best way as CellCreator is public exposed class. 
May be we should explain abt this in hbase book under the Visibility labels 
area.  Good to know you have Visibility labels based usecase. Let us know in 
case of any trouble.  Thanks.
