Thrift client authentication and doAs impersonation, introduced in HBase 1.0, provides more flexibility for your HBase installation.
In the two-part blog series “How-to: Use the HBase Thrift Interface” (Part 1 and Part 2), Jesse Anderson explained the Thrift interface in detail, and demonstrated how to use it. He didn’t cover running Thrift in a secure Apache HBase cluster, however, because there was no difference in the client configuration with the HBase releases available at that time.
