David Dossot commented on HADOOP-8716:
--------------------------------------
For the sake of others having the same issue, I've been able to workaround the
problem by running:
{noformat}sudo groupadd -r hadoop
sudo useradd --comment "Hadoop MapReduce" --shell /bin/bash -M -r --groups
hadoop --home /var/lib/hadoop/mapred mapred
sudo useradd --comment "Hadoop HDFS" --shell /bin/bash -M -r --groups hadoop
--home /var/lib/hadoop/hdfs hdfs{noformat}
> Users/Groups are not created during installation of DEB package
