> 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.
