Configurations to enable impersonation for Hbase thrift servers

Question

Hi. I want to enable impersonation for thrift server. Can someone tell me what configurations I should use for this?

Answer 1

The default configuration suggested in the official Hue documentation in the hbase-site.xml are as follows:

<property>
  <name>hbase.regionserver.thrift.http</name>
  <value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hbase.thrift.support.proxyuser</name>
  <value>true/value>
</property>
