HBase Thrift configurations
| Property | Default value (secured) | Default value (unsecured) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| hbase.thrift.support.proxyuser | true | true | Use this to allow proxy users on the thrift gateway, which is mainly needed for doAs functionality. |
| hbase.regionserver.thrift.framed | true | true | Use framed transport. When using the THsHaServer or TNonblockingServer, framed transport is always used irrespective of this configuration value. |
| hbase.regionserver.thrift.compact | true | true | Use the TCompactProtocol instead of the default TBinaryProtocol. TCompactProtocol is a binary protocol that is more compact than the default and typically more efficient. |
| hbase.regionserver.thrift.http | true | true | Use this to enable HTTP server usage on thrift, which is mainly needed for doAs functionality. |
| hbase.thrift.security.qop | auth_conf | none | If this is set, HBase Thrift Server authenticates its clients. HBase Proxy User Hosts and Groups must be configured to allow specific users to access HBase through Thrift Server. |
| hbase.thrift.ssl.enabled | true | false | Encrypt communication between clients and HBase Thrift Server over HTTP using Transport Layer Security (TLS) (formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL)). |
