I'd say, for running tests with a pseudo-cluster on a single machine it would be easiest for you to extract the archive somewhere in your home directory, as your regular user. If you extracted the archive as root into /usr/local, then your regular user is probably missing read and execute permissions on various files and directories. With the default configuration, the hadoop user also needs to have write permission to the logs directory. I'd say it seems reasonable to delay those concerns for when you'll run on more than one machine. -- Luca Pireddu CRS4 - Distributed Computing Group Loc.
