It looks like [the 1.6.0 master creates the root table manually through the TableManager and a manual call to the Initialization code|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/957c9d1b34afb8a5b7347921ba2d5b0b22bbc828/server/master/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/master/Master.java#L300]. It's kind of heavy-weight, but would get you what you need. > Figure out internal authentication > ---------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-2705 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2705 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Josh Elser > Assignee: Josh Elser > Fix For: 1.7.0 > > > When creating a table to use for storing replication "bookkeeping", I found that the internal !SYSTEM user doesn't have the ability to create a table. Should it? > Without this, the user would have to create/configure a custom local user account with proper credentials to read/write the replication table as well as persist this in accumulo-site.xml. My first impression is that this is excessive waste because the usage is purely within the tablet server already -- need to try to figure out if there's a reason that !SYSTEM shouldn't be allowed to create tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
