dfs cat on a file that does not exist throws a java IOException
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2194
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2194

          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dfs

            Reporter: Mukund Madhugiri
             Fix For: 0.16.0


The dfs cat command throws an IOException when the file does not exist:

bin/hadoop dfs -cat doesnotexist
cat: java.io.IOException: Cannot open filename<home directory>/doesnotexist]

In Linux, if a file does not exist, cat displays this:
cat: doesnotexist: No such file or directory
