Dan,
If you aren't using kerberos security, you can use the HADOOP_USER_NAME
env variable
$ HADOOP_USER_NAME=hdfs hadoop fs -touchz /abc
George
I'd like to access hadoop cluster from my laptop (through ubuntu). I
put configuration files under /etc/hadoop/cluster/conf and set up env
variable HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/etc/hadoop/cluster/conf
However, my problem is that my ubuntu user name is different from my
user name on the cluster. I tried to find where I can specify my
username in the configuration files but unsuccessfully.
Can anyone point me how to specify my username in the config files?
Thanks.
Dan
