John Zhuge commented on HADOOP-12718:
-------------------------------------
Please note this jira focuses on local dir, not local file. The error message
for local file is not confusing, but different from local dir. If we want to
ensure consistent error message for both, we'd have to modify a different code
path for the local file.
> Confusing error message by fs -put local dir without permission
