Hello
I'm new to Hadoop and I'm trying to do something I *think* should be easy but
having some trouble. Here's the details.
1. I'm running Hadoop version 1.0.2
2. I have a 2 Node Hadoop Cluster up and running, with no security enabled
I'm having trouble overriding the username from the client so that the
files/directories created are owned by the user I specify from the client.
For example I'm trying to run:
hadoop fs -Duser.name=someUserName -conf hadoop-cluster.xml -mkdir
/user/someOtherUserName/test
And have the directory "test" created in hdfs and owned by "someUserName".
Instead it is creating the directory and giving it the owner of the user
(whoami) from the client. I'd like to override or control that…can someone
tell me how?
My hadoop-cluster.xml file on the client looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://server1:54310</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>server1:54311</value>
</property>
</configuration>
Thanks for the help
