Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2883:
---------------------------------------------

It should also be mentioned that we already have public API for getting split points. This feature adds no additional security concerns about data leakage, unless we consider the location of the data to be additionally sensitive, and I can't imagine why we should, since the whole point of Accumulo is to manage and reveal that information to a client, so it can efficiently query from the distributed system. If you don't want to reveal the location of a tablet, Accumulo (and the whole BigTable model) is not your solution (at least, not without an intermediate: proxy or web service).

> TabletLocator already exists, but isn't officially a part of the "public API" and is clunky for users to invoke. In trying to co-locate external processes with the tabletservers that are hosting some data, it would be nice to have some means that users can invoke that will return them these assignments.
> Memory concerns are an issue for tables with many splits (e.g. avoiding creating a Set of 100k tablet locations for a table), but we also want to provide the ability to ask pointed questions. Likely building something that accepts a Range (or Collection<Range>) would be best.
