If you define env var HDFS_NAMENODE_USER=root in hadoop-env.sh or somewhere and run the command by another user, you will get the error. {noformat} $ HDFS_NAMENODE_USER=root bin/hadoop namenode -format WARNING: Use of this script to execute namenode is deprecated. WARNING: Attempting to execute replacement "hdfs namenode" instead. ERROR: namenode can only be executed by root. {noformat} I'm closing this as invalid.
