Hi @prsingh Are you able to create and list hbase tables? Also HBase UI is working fine? Can you also confirm if Ranger is enabled?

@nyadav

Yes, I'm able to create and list table from shell. Only issue is while granting permission.

Also Ranger is not enabled.

Thanks. Let's remove the acl znode from the ZK. Stop HBase services, and follow below steps

--login to zkcli (hbase zkcli)
-- rmr /hbase-secure/table/hbase:acl

@prsingh

That seems to be a bug, let's disable the ACL for ZK, by adding below in zookeeper-env.sh -Dzookeeper.skipACL=yes

1) Stop HBase 
2) Add -Dzookeeper.skipACL=yes in zookeeper-env.sh
export SERVER_JVMFLAGS="$SERVER_JVMFLAGS -Dzookeeper.skipACL=yes -Djava.security.auth.login.config={{zk_server_jaas_file}}" 
3) rmr /hbase-secure/table/hbase:acl 
4)revert back the change in step 2 -Dzookeeper.skipACL=yes 
5) Restart HBase again 
6) Try grant it should work now
