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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
