Class LegacyAuthorizer

java.lang.Object

org.apache.cassandra.auth.LegacyAuthorizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAuthorizer

public abstract class LegacyAuthorizer
extends java.lang.Object
implements IAuthorizer

Provides a transitional IAuthorizer implementation for old-style (pre-1.2) authorizers. Translates old-style authorize() calls to the new-style, expands Permission.READ and Permission.WRITE into the new Permission values, translates the new resource hierarchy into the old hierarchy. Stubs the rest of the new methods. Subclass LegacyAuthorizer instead of implementing the old IAuthority and your old IAuthority implementation should continue to work.
