In HBase, a scan of a table costs server-side HBase resources reading, formating, and returning data back to the client.
Luckily, HBase provides a TableSnapshotScanner and TableSnapshotInputFormat (introduced by link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8369[HBASE-8369]),
which scan snapshot the HBase-written HFiles directly in the HDFS filesystem completely by-passing hbase. This access mode
which can scan HBase-written HFiles directly in the HDFS filesystem completely by-passing hbase. This access mode
performs better than going via HBase and can be used with an offline HBase with in-place or exported
snapshot HFiles.

=== Permission to access snapshot and data files
Generally, only the HBase owner or the HDFS admin have the permission to access HFiles.

==== link:https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html#ACLs_Access_Control_Lists[HDFS ACLs]
HDFS ACLs supports an "access ACL", which defines the rules to enforce during permission checks, and a "default ACL",
which defines the ACL entries that new child files or sub-directories receive automatically during creation.
By HDFS ACLs, HBase sync granted users with read permission to HFiles.
Via HDFS ACLs, HBase syncs granted users with read permission to HFiles.
==== Basic idea
The HBase files are orginazed as the following ways:
The HBase files are organized in the following ways:
* {hbase-rootdir}/.tmp/data/{namespace}/{table}
* {hbase-rootdir}/data/{namespace}/{table}
* {hbase-rootdir}/archive/data/{namespace}/{table}
* {hbase-rootdir}/.hbase-snapshot/{snapshotName}
So the basic idea is to add or remove HDFS ACLs to files of
global/namespace/table directory when grant or revoke permission to global/namespace/table.

The 32 entries include four fixed users for each directory or file: owner, group, other and mask. For a directory, the four users contain 8 ACL entries(access and default) and for a file, the four users contain 4 ACL entries(access).

Based on this limitation, we can only sync up to 12 HBase granted users' ACLs. This means, if a table enable this feature, then the total users with table, namespace of this table, global READ permission should not be greater than 12.

There are some cases that this coprocessor has not handled or could not handle, so the user HDFS ACLs are not syned normally. Such as a reference link to another hfile of other tables.
