> When a permission provider plugin is enabled (eg Ranger) there are some
> scenarios where it can throw a sub-class of an AccessControlException (eg
> RangerAccessControlException). If this exception is allowed to propagate up
> the stack, it can give problems in the HDFS Client, when it unwraps the
> remote exception containing the AccessControlException sub-class.
> Ideally, we should make AccessControlException final so it cannot be
> sub-classed, but that would be a breaking change at this point. Therefore I
> believe the safest thing to do, is to catch any AccessControlException that
> comes out of the permission enforcer plugin, and re-throw an
> AccessControlException instead.
