Travis Thompson created HDFS-5935: ------------------------------------- Summary: New Namenode UI FS browser should throw smarter error messages Key: HDFS-5935 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5935 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: namenode Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Reporter: Travis Thompson Priority: Minor
When browsing using the new FS browser in the namenode, if I try to browse a folder that I don't have permission to view, it throws the error: {noformat} Failed to retreive data from /webhdfs/v1/system?op=LISTSTATUS, cause: Forbidden WebHDFS might be disabled. WebHDFS is required to browse the filesystem. {noformat} The reason I'm not allowed to see /system is because I don't have permission, not because WebHDFS is disabled. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
