--------------------------------------
Github user alopresto commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1147
I made a couple small changes, but otherwise +1. Verified by creating a
directory structure as below and verified the positive case succeeded with no
error output; the two negative cases caused the expected bulletins and log
messages to be generated.

> Key: NIFI-2919
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2919
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Oleg Zhurakousky

>
> GetFile processor requires write permission to its input directory.
> For example, if nifi is started by a user named 'nifi' (which is the case in
> Ambari environment), and if the input directory does not give write
> permission to user 'nifi', the processor simply stop working without giving
> warning or error messages. From the end user's perspective, it is confusing.
> I'd like to improve the user's experience by providing some check and
> warning. It is similar to the check of the existence of the input directory.
> If the input directory is not present, GetFile already gives error messages
> to the user. The same check can be done for directory permission.
