Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-7943.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Daryn reports this is fixed in trunk and it's unlikely we'll ever do another
1.x release, given the last one was over a year ago at this point...
Closing as won't fix.

> Key: HADOOP-7943
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7943
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0
> Reporter: Ben West
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: hdfs, shell
> Attachments: hadoop-7943-1.0.0.patch, hadoop-7943-1.0.0v2.patch,
> hadoop-7943-1.0v3.patch, hadoop-7943-1.0v4.patch, hadoop-7943.patch,

> Let /foo be a *directory* in HDFS (issue does not occur with files) and /bar
> be a local dir. Do something like:
> {code}
> $ chmod u-w /bar
> $ hadoop -get /foo/myfile /bar
> copyToLocal: Permission denied # correctly tells me permission is denied
> $ hadoop -get /foo /bar
> copyToLocal: null
> $ hadoop -get /foo/ /bar
> copyToLocal: No such file or directory
> {code}
> I've been banging my head for a bit trying to figure out why hadoop thinks my
> directory doesn't exist, but it turns out the problem was just with my local
> permissions. The "Permission denied" error would've been a lot nicer to get.
