Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6057:
-------------------------------------
Is part-00000 or <dir> a directory in which you don't have the +x bit? If so,
permission denied is the correct response - you can't traverse into a directory
on which you don't have +x, regardless of whether the file you're trying to get
to exists or not.
> "Permission Denied" message for non-existing file/dir.
