Hans Uhlig created HDFS-4220:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Augment AccessControlException to include both affected 
inode and attempted operation
                 Key: HDFS-4220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4220
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hdfs client, name-node
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha
            Reporter: Hans Uhlig
            Priority: Minor


Currently when any application that uses hdfs runs and hits a permissions wall 
a message similar to the following is emitted.

FAILED: RuntimeException org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: 
Permission denied: user=huhlig, access=WRITE, inode="/":hdfs:hadoop:drwxr-xr-x

This provides a bit of information including who, did what and where but not 
what I tried to do. This makes debugging naughty or misconfigured applications 
difficult to debug.

A preferable addition to this would follow inode

FAILED: RuntimeException org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: 
Permission denied: user=huhlig, access=WRITE, inode="/":hdfs:hadoop:drwxr-xr-x, 
operation=mkdir:"/new/path/to/make"

This would allow for easier tracing of applications like hive where they may 
hit odd file system spaces.
