I just committed HADOOP-10274 without reading this one.  It sets log level to DEBUG.  I just saw your comments above [~daryn] You want me to revert it?

> In UserGroupInformation::doAs(), it prints out a log at ERROR level whenever it catches an exception.
> However, it prints benign warnings in the following paradigm:
> {noformat}
>  try {
>         ugi.doAs(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<FileStatus>() {
>           @Override
>           public FileStatus run() throws Exception {
>             return fs.getFileStatus(nonExist);
>           }
>         });
>       } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
>       }
> {noformat}
> For example, FileSystem#exists() follows this paradigm. Distcp uses this paradigm too. The exception is expected therefore there should be no ERROR logs printed in the namenode logs.
> Currently, the user quickly finds out that the namenode log is quickly filled by _benign_ ERROR logs when he or she runs distcp in secure set up. This behavior confuses the operators.
> This jira proposes to move the log to DEBUG level.
