----------------------------------

Thanks [~kevincox] [~yuanbo] [~yzhangal] for the work. I think it's a valid improvement for 2.7 as well; just backported it to branch-2.7.

> This following issue is remedied by HDFS-5802.
> {quote}
> Given you have a file {{/file}} an existence check for the path {{/file/whatever}} will give different responses for different implementations of FileSystem.
> LocalFileSystem will return false while DistributedFileSystem will throw {{org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: ..., access=EXECUTE, ...}}
> {quote}
> However, HDFS-5802 may expose information about a path that user doesn't have permission to see. 
> For example, if the user asks for /a/b/c, but does not have permission to list /a, we should not complain about /a/b
