Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5935:
----------------------------------
We might be able to distinguish these cases since I think the server will
return 404 if WebHDFS is not enabled. [~tthompso], can you please provide a
patch if you have time?
> 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.
