Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1018:
----------------------------------------
bq. Under what circumstances can a client not know which table it was trying to
read when it got a permissions error?
One situation is that Alice writes and application that reads from 20 tables
using the scanner. Bob deploys Alice's application on an Accumulo instance
with 100's of tables. When the application says it can not read something, Bob
has to spend a lot of time figuring out what it can not read. If the scanner
exception gave the table name, it would make things a lot easier for Bob. Sure
Alice's application could have given a better error message, but it would be
easy for the scanner to do this so I do not see why it should not.

> Saw this in 1.4, not sure if its an issue in later versions.
> Assume a user has an application that is reading from many tables and does
> not have permission to read from one table. In this case the exception does
> not tell them which table they can not read from. If not familiar with the
> application, it can take a while to track this issue down on a system with
> many tables.
