Hbase labels table creation

Question

We are using Cloudera 6.2.1 and enabling row and cell level ACLs on our Hbase tables. After turning on the Hbase authorization toggle, in some environments, everything works perfectly. We can add new labels and auths from Hbase shell.

In a few environments when trying to call the 'add_labels' command in Hbase shell it complains that 'Table hbase:labels does not exist'. To fix it i ran the following command.

create 'hbase:labels','f'

Then I was able to call the add_labels command no problem. I was just curious what actually creates this table and was trying to understand why in some environments it wasn't created.
