read the error denied: user=root, access=WRITE,inode="/user":hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x
you are executing the command as user root (remember a linux user root has no root level access to hdfs) . Your user (root) does not have write permission to "/user" either create a directory as user hdfs and then give root user write permission or change permissions on /user so that root can write into it On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Pavan Sudheendra <pavan0...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi , > > Can anyone give me details why i'm getting the below error? > > 06:08:34,313 ERROR UserGroupInformation:1411 - > PriviledgedActionException as:root (auth:SIMPLE) > cause:org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission > denied: user=root, access=WRITE, > inode="/user":hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x > > -- > Regards- > Pavan > -- Nitin Pawar
