[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (HADOOP-5862) Namespace quota exceeded
message unclear
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5862?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12713692#action_12713692 ]

For the diskspace quota, is it worth putting the numbers into MB, GB, etc for human consumption? On a large cluster with a large quota the formatted number would probably be more easily groked.

> We seem to return one generic message when either a namespace or diskspace quota is exceeded. We should be clearer. The error should state which quota is exceeded and only report statistics on the exceeded quota.
> Further namespace quota is probably not clear to most users. We should probably have explanatory text such as: "you have exceeded the maximum allowed number of files". Maybe we should even rename the quota to number of files quota?
> Finally, the error below would be clearer if it read:
> Quota exceeded for directory '/user/ciyaliao'.
> By not using the word "directory" it is not clear in this case if the issue is with a user or a directory.
> ------ AN EXAMPLE -----

> > diskspace quota=-1 diskspace=-44221467605496

> > It apparently complains that dfs quota is exceeded. But I only use around
> > 200GB disk space. From the error message, what kind of quota did I actually
