Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-18387:
-------------------------------------
{code}
- System.out.println("Usage: DemoClient host port [secure=false]");
+ System.out.println("Usage: DemoClient host port [secure=false]
[user=hbase]");
{code}
Please update the instructions in {{hbase-examples/README.txt}} to explain this
further. We should specify that it's the principal of the server, and not for
example a user for the client. Also that it's only needed when talking to a
secure cluster. Thinking through it, I think that means "server-principal"
would be better in the CLI help than "user".

> In the Thrift1 demo client we have this code:
> {code}
> transport = new TSaslClientTransport("GSSAPI", null,
> "hbase", // Thrift server user name, should be an authorized proxy user.
> host, // Thrift server domain
> saslProperties, null, transport);
> {code}
> This will only work when the Thrift server is started with the {{hbase}}
> principal. Often this may deviate, for example I am using {{hbase-thrift}} to
> separate the names from those of backend servers.
> What we need is either an additional command line option to specify the name,
> or a property that can be set with -D and can be passed at runtime. I prefer
> the former, as the latter is making this a little convoluted.
