If you can chmod a+w the directory /user/dorner/bulkload/output/Tsp, hbase should be able to do what it needs to do (I am assuming the error is coming from completebulkload). It is trying to rename the files.

When i try to run a bulkload, it fails after creating the hfiles with following error: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=hbase, access=WRITE, inode="/user/dorner/bulkload/output/Tsp/v":dorner:hadoop:drwxr-xr-x After some reading, I know that HBase needs to own the files. I am not in the sudo group on the cluster to change the owner (and probably can't get in). And i can't ask the administrator every time to change the owner of the file. Is there a way to change this behavior and allow hbase to access those files without changing permissions and owners? On my local pseudo-distributed mode, it runs perfect without any changes. I am using cloudera CDH3u2. Regards, Christopher
