https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1050
Changed the type of allowAccessOutsideWorkspace to boolean. This changes
behavior. All existing dfs workspaces will also disallow access outside the
workspace. Ideally, we should deprecate this parameter in a future release, but
for the moment it allows existing users to access paths outside the workspace
if they want to.
> 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.
