            Description

            From Mark Wang:

            Is there a reason that Hbase is expecting Hue users to have CREATE permissions when reading a table?

            Exception in Hue UI when user clicks on an Hbase Table:
            Api Error: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: Insufficient permissions (user=admin, scope=default:analytics_demo, params=[table=default:analytics_demo],action=CREATE) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController.requirePermission(AccessController.java:429)

            After closing the exception window in Hue, the user can read the table fine.

            I confirmed this on CDH 5.5.x with admin user after granting these permissions in Hue and installing the Hbase examples:

            grant 'hue', 'RWC', '@default'
            grant 'admin', 'R', '@default'
