> In UserGroupInformation::doAs(), it prints out a log at ERROR level whenever
> it catches an exception.
> However, it prints benign warnings in the following paradigm:
> {noformat}
> try {
> ugi.doAs(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<FileStatus>() {
> @Override
> public FileStatus run() throws Exception {
> return fs.getFileStatus(nonExist);
> }
> });
> } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
> }
> {noformat}
> For example, FileSystem#exists() follows this paradigm. Distcp uses this
> paradigm too. The exception is expected therefore there should be no ERROR
> logs printed in the namenode logs.
> Currently, the user quickly finds out that the namenode log is quickly filled
> by _benign_ ERROR logs when he or she runs distcp in secure set up. This
> behavior confuses the operators.
> This jira proposes to move the log to DEBUG level.
