Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-6422:
-------------------------------------------
[~clamb], I am ok with existing behavior. Only I put my comment based on the
comment in code "/* To access xattr names, you need EXECUTE in the *owning
directory*. */"
> getfattr in CLI doesn't throw exception or return non-0 return code when
> xattr doesn't exist
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> If you do
> hdfs dfs -getfattr -n user.blah /foo
> and user.blah doesn't exist, the command prints
> # file: /foo
> and a 0 return code.
> It should print an exception and return a non-0 return code instead.
