Parth Chandra commented on DRILL-5964:
--------------------------------------
Added check to prevent users from accessing a path outside the current
workspace.
Documentation notes:
bq. For backward compatibility this introduces a new parameter
'allowAccessOutsideWorkspace' in the dfs storage plugin configuration that
allows the user to override the check and allow access outside the workspace.
The default value for the parameter is false. Any existing storage plugin
configurations which do not have the parameter specified will no longer be able
to access paths outside the workspace.
> Do not allow queries to access paths outside the current workspace root

> Workspace definitions in the dfs plugin are intended to provide a convenient
> shortcut to long directory paths. However, some users may wish to disallow
> access to paths outside the root of the workspace, possibly to prevent
> accidental access. Note that this is a convenience option and not a
> substitute for permissions on the file system.
