Description

In a secure cluster, I tried to grant user 'hrt_1' permission to namespace X

hbase(main):002:0> grant 'hrt_1', 'W', '@X'

ERROR: no method 'grant' for arguments (org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.AccessControlProtos.AccessControlService.BlockingStub,org.jruby.RubyString,org.jruby.java.proxies.ArrayJavaProxy,org.jruby.java.proxies.ArrayJavaProxy) on Java::OrgApacheHadoopHbaseProtobuf::ProtobufUtil

    (org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.AccessControlProtos.AccessControlService.BlockingInterface,java.lang.String,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.Permission.Action[])

Here is some help for this command:
Grant users specific rights.
Syntax : grant <user> <permissions> [<table> [<column family> [<column qualifier>]]

permissions is either zero or more letters from the set "RWXCA".
READ('R'), WRITE('W'), EXEC('X'), CREATE('C'), ADMIN('A')

For example:

    hbase> grant 'bobsmith', 'RWXCA'
    hbase> grant 'bobsmith', 'RW', 't1', 'f1', 'col1'
