<property> <name> yarn.timeline-service.generic-application-history.fs-history-store.uri </name> <value>${hadoop.tmp.dir}/yarn/system/history</value> <source>yarn-site.xml</source> </property> Cheers, Laszlo On 31 Oct 2014, at 10:20, Laszlo Puskas <laszlo.pus...@sequenceiq.com> wrote: > I meant the user seems to be created properly and the problem still persists > > Laszlo > > > > On 30 Oct 2014, at 17:45, Laszlo Puskas <laszlo.pus...@sequenceiq.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Erin, >> >> The user seems to be properly created. >> >> Cheers, >> >> Laszlo >> >> >> >> On 30 Oct 2014, at 17:07, Erin Boyd <eb...@redhat.com> wrote: >> >>> I have had this happen when the yarn user doesn't get created right. >>> Look to make sure that yarn has a home directory: >>> /home/yarn >>> >>> Erin >>> >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>> From: "Laszlo Puskas" <laszlo.pus...@sequenceiq.com> >>> To: user@ambari.apache.org >>> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 10:04:36 AM >>> Subject: Application timeline server doesn't start >>> >>> 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! >>> >> >
