Yongjun Zhang updated HDFS-10276:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Given you have a file {{/file}} an existence check for the path 
{{/file/whatever}} will give different responses for different implementations 
of FileSystem.

LocalFileSystem will return false while DistributedFileSystem will throw 
{{org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: ..., 
access=EXECUTE, ...}}

This above issue is fixed by HDFS-5802. However, HDFS-5802 may expose 
information about a path that user doesn't have permission to see. 

For example, if the user asks for /a/b/c, but does not have permission to list 
/a, we should not complain about /a/b
