Attachment: HDFS-12907.002.patch
Thanks [~daryn] for the reviews.
All the comments are addressed in the patch v#002 except one.
bq. The case statements should be indented within the switch block. It's like
writing an if or while w/o indenting the body.
Didn't I do the same thing ?
The checkstyle also didn't complain.
> Allow read-only access to reserved raw for non-superusers

> HDFS-6509 added a special /.reserved/raw path prefix to access the raw file
> contents of EZ files. In the simplest sense it doesn't return the FE info in
> the {{LocatedBlocks}} so the dfs client doesn't try to decrypt the data.
> This facilitates allowing tools like distcp to copy raw bytes.
> Access to the raw hierarchy is restricted to superusers. This seems like an
> overly broad restriction designed to prevent non-admins from munging the EZ
> related xattrs. I believe we should relax the restriction to allow
> non-admins to perform read-only operations. Allowing non-superusers to
> easily read the raw bytes will be extremely useful for regular users, esp.
> for enabling webhdfs client-side encryption.
