> Webhdfs returns malformed json for directories that exceed the conf
> {{dfs.ls.limit}} value. The streaming object returned by
> {{NamenodeWebhdfsMethods#getListingStream}} will repeatedly call
> {{getListing}} for each segment of the directory listing.
> {{getListingStream}} runs within the remote user's ugi and acquires the first
> segment of the directory, then returns a streaming object. The streaming
> object is later executed _outside of the user's ugi_. Luckily it runs as the
> host service principal (ie. {{host/namenode@REALM}}) so the result is
> permission denied for the "host" user:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied:
> user=host, access=EXECUTE, inode="/path":someuser:group:drwx------
> {noformat}
> The exception causes the streamer to prematurely abort the json output
> leaving it malformed. Meanwhile, the client sees the cryptic:
> {noformat}
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: unexpected end of array
> at org.mortbay.util.ajax.JSON.parseArray(JSON.java:902)
