Description

Namenode currently prints inode information in AccessControlException. When path provided by user is different from the actual path is resolved to a different path in namenode (some examples as in snapshot paths, HDFS-4434), this might expose information about resolved path.

In this jira, in permission checker, I propose adding a separate field for path to print in AccessControlException.
