Hi Everyone, I am trying to set up and start the application timeline server with Ambari. For this i’ve created a blueprint with the appropriate configuration settings. (I followed the description here: http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.1.5/bk_system-admin-guide/content/ch_application-timeline-server.html).
The application history server fails to start due to a permission denied error: 2014-10-30 09:06:37,395 ERROR applicationhistoryservice.FileSystemApplicationHistoryStore (FileSystemApplicationHistoryStore.java:serviceInit(123)) - Error when initializing FileSystemHistoryStorage org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=yarn, access=WRITE, inode="/":hdfs:hdfs:drwxr-xr-x at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.checkFsPermission(FSPermissionChecker.java:265) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.check(FSPermissionChecker.java:251) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.check(FSPermissionChecker.java:232) I found a workaround by manually adding the yarn user to the hdfs group. Any idea on what’s wrong? Ambari version 1.6.0 Hadoop version: 2.4.0 Thanks!
