Hi,
I'm suffering a problem, which maybe is a feature ( ;) ), but for me
it's rather an annoying problem. I use SimpleAuthenticator and I have
user who should be a kind of Cassandra's keyspace "root" - he should be
allowed to do everything. So I set:
<modify-keyspaces>=master
Unluckily, when I try to create CFs (with a script) I get:
pycassa.cassandra.c10.ttypes.InvalidRequestException:
InvalidRequestException(why='#<User master groups=[]> does not have
permission WRITE for /cassandra/keyspaces/test')
It's not a problem of logging in, because if I provide wrong password I
get different error:
pycassa.cassandra.c10.ttypes.AuthenticationException:
AuthenticationException(why='Given password in password mode MD5 could
not be validated for user master')
When I go back to AllowAllAuthority for a while, create CFs and then
move back to SimpleAuthority (user has <rw> on all CFs) it's working
perfectly to manipulate the data in CFs in this keyspace. But altering
CFs settings still fails.
So, the question is - is it intended to work this way, that user with
"modify-keyspace" permission cannot - sic! - modify the keyspace in
terms of creating/altering CF? Is it a bug, or a feature? If feature -
why? :)
Or maybe this setting is for other purposes and I just don't understand
the idea? ;)
Kind regards,
Michał M.
