Description

The code that handles a start scan RPC call checks authentication twice.  Each call to authenticate takes a bit of time.  It would be nice if it only did it once.

At TabletServer line 479 a call to canScan is made which calls authenticate.  Then at TabletServer line 482 a call to check authorizations is made which also authenticates.
