FsShell should dump all exceptions at DEBUG level
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7114
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 0.23.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon
            Priority: Minor


Most of the FsShell commands catch exceptions and then just print out an error 
like "foo: " + e.getLocalizedMessage(). This is fine when the exception is 
"user-facing" (eg permissions errors) but in the case of a user hitting a bug 
you get a useless error message with no stack trace. For example, something 
"chmod: null" in the case of a NullPointerException bug.

It would help debug these cases for users and developers if we also logged the 
exception with full trace at DEBUG level.
