Description

We want to delete data from hbase using phoenix.
Deleting data with SQL makes it very easy for the user to erease data (e.g. data needs to be deleted because a user enforces his GDPR right to be forgotten)

The pushdown is possible according to the documentation

SQL DELETE

If a WHERE clause is specified, the DELETE operation only works if the predicate in the clause can be fully pushed down to the data source.

A fully pushdown means ACL enabled on the hbase side. see https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.accesscontrol.configuration

May be a configOverride is enough (already possible for hbase), may be more is needed.
It will involve some testing efforts.

Research direction

Start with the Phoenix SQL DELETE documentation and the HBase access-control configuration documentation linked in the issue. Check the operator's existing HBase configuration override entry point, then test whether ACL-enabled deployment permits fully pushed-down deletes through Phoenix; done means the configuration and behavior are covered by tests.
