[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-12718) Confusing error message by fs -put local dir without permission

John Zhuge created HADOOP-12718:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Confusing error message by fs -put local dir without permission
                 Key: HADOOP-12718
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12718
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: John Zhuge
            Assignee: John Zhuge
            Priority: Minor


When the user doesn't have access permission to the local directory or file, the "hadoop fs -put" command prints an confusing error message "No such file or directory".

{noformat}
$ whoami
systest
$ cd /home/systest
$ ls -ld .
drwx------. 4 systest systest 4096 Jan 13 14:21 .
$ mkdir d1
$ sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -put d1 /tmp
put: `d1': No such file or directory
{noformat}

It will be more informative if the message is:
{noformat}
put: cannot access `d1': Permission denied
{noformat}
