Release Note

SecureBulkLoadEndpoint  has been integrated into HBase core as default bulk load mechanism. It is no longer needed to install it as a coprocessor endpoint.
The new server is backward compatible, accommodating non-secure old client and secure old client requesting SecureBulkLoadEndpoint service.
SecureBulkLoadEndpoint is deprecated. The backward compatibility support may be removed in future releases.

Description

HBASE-12052 makes SecureBulkLoadEndpoint work in a non-secure env to solve HDFS permission issues.
We have encountered some of the permission issues and have to use this SecureBulkLoadEndpoint to workaround issues.
We should probably consolidate SecureBulkLoadEndpoint into HBase core as default for bulk load since it is able to handle both secure Kerberos and non-secure cases.
Maintaining two versions of bulk load implementation is also a cause of confusion, and having to explicitly set it is also inconvenient.
