Description

A user that only has global or namespace "CREATE" permission can grant permissions to another user on its created table, but cannot revoke them.

This bug exists on branch-2.1, from 2.1.1

2.0, 2.1.0, master, and branch-2.2 are not effected.

The bug can be triggered via hbase shell:

#Start hbase shell as superuse 
#export HADOOP_USER_NAME=hbase 
hbase shell
grant 'regularUser1', 'C'
exit
#Run hbase shell as regularUser1
#grant, then revoke 'RX' permission to regularUser2
#export HADOOP_USER_NAME=regularUser1
hbase shell
create 'nunuke','nunuke'
grant 'regularUser2', 'RX', 'nunuke'
#This will fail on 2.1.1+
revoke 'regularUser2', 'nunuke'
