----------------------------------
As suggested by [[email protected]], it might be a good idea to redirect the
user to a wiki page instead.
> New Namenode UI FS browser should throw smarter error messages
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-5935
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5935
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Travis Thompson
> Priority: Minor
>
> When browsing using the new FS browser in the namenode, if I try to browse a
> folder that I don't have permission to view, it throws the error:
> {noformat}
> Failed to retreive data from /webhdfs/v1/system?op=LISTSTATUS, cause:
> Forbidden
> WebHDFS might be disabled. WebHDFS is required to browse the filesystem.
> {noformat}
> The reason I'm not allowed to see /system is because I don't have permission,
> not because WebHDFS is disabled.
