> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10276
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Kevin Cox
> Assignee: Yuanbo Liu
> Attachments: HDFS-10276.001.patch, HDFS-10276.002.patch,
> HDFS-10276.003.patch, HDFS-10276.004.patch, HDFS-10276.005.patch,

> Given you have a file {{/file}} an existence check for the path
> {{/file/whatever}} will give different responses for different
> implementations of FileSystem.
> LocalFileSystem will return false while DistributedFileSystem will throw
> {{org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: ...,
> access=EXECUTE, ...}}
> This above issue is fixed by HDFS-5802. However, HDFS-5802 may expose
> information about a path that a user doesn't have permission to see.
> For example, if the user asks for /a/b/c, but does not have permission to
> list /a, we should not complain about /a/b
