Hi,
I've just installed a new test cluster and I'm trying to give it a quick
smoke test with RandomWriter and Sort.
I can run these fine with the superuser account. When I try to run them
as another user I run into problems even though I've created the output
directory and given permissions to the other user to write to this
directory. i.e.
1. smulc...@hadoop01:~$ hadoop fs -mkdir /foo
mkdir: org.apache.hadoop.fs.permission.AccessControlException:
Permission denied: user=smulcahy, access=WRITE,
inode="":hadoop:supergroup:rwxr-xr-x
OK - we don't have permissions anyways
2. had...@hadoop01:/$ hadoop fs -mkdir /foo
OK
3. hadoop fs -chown -R smulcahy /foo
OK
4. smulc...@hadoop01:~$ hadoop fs -mkdir /foo/test
OK
5. smulc...@hadoop01:~$ hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop/hadoop-*-examples.jar
randomwriter /foo
java.io.IOException: Permission denied
at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)

at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:79)
at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobShell.main(JobShell.java:68)
Any suggestions on why step 5. is failing even though I have write
permissions to /foo - do I need permissions on some other directory also
or ... ?
Thanks,
-stephen
