Description

In section "55.8. REST Gateway Impersonation Configuration", there is another property that needs to be set (and thus documented).

After this sentence ("To enable REST gateway impersonation, add the following to the hbase-site.xml file for every REST gateway."), we should add :
<property>
<name>hbase.rest.support.proxyuser</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>

It not set, doing a curl call on the rest gateway gives the error "support for proxyuser is not configured".
