Dilli Arumugam commented on HADOOP-9929:
----------------------------------------
In a way the current behavior is more secure. Is it not?
A person who does not have permission to cd into a directory should not be able
to discover the presence or absence of a file in the directory.
Am I missing something?
> Insufficient permissions for a path reported as file not found
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-9929
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9929
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta, 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Jason Lowe
>
> Using "hadoop fs -ls" to list a path where the permissions of a parent
> directory are insufficient ends up reporting "no such file or directory" on
> the full path rather than reporting the permission issue. For example:
> {noformat}
> $ hadoop fs -ls /user/abc/tests/data
> ls: `/user/abc/tests/data': No such file or directory
> $ hadoop fs -ls /user/abc
> ls: Permission denied: user=somebody, access=READ_EXECUTE,
> inode="/user/abc":abc:hdfs:drwx------
> {noformat}
