Not Starting Hmaster bacause of Permission denied

Hi All,
I am facing an issue to start Hmaster bacause of Permission denied,
although two region servers seem start properly. I will be much
appreciated if any one could help me to figure out the root cause. I
have hadoop running under 'hadoop' user, and Hbase running under 'hbase'
user. Thanks, - Andy Zhong

Hi Andy,

We run HBase under the same user, so unfortunately I havent seen your
issue.
But the hbase user definitely needs to own the hbase.rootdir, to be able
to write to it. Do your hbase and hadoop users belong to the same group
and is the activity dfs folder permissions set correctly for hbase user
to write to it?

I would try the following to rule out permission issues.

bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /activity
bin/hadoop fs -chown hbase /activity

And then start hbase.

If anyone on the list has seen this issue or has some other thoughts,
please share.

Best Regards,
Sonal

Sonal,

Humm... Thanks for your reply! But not aware of dfs security is being
used here (Hadoop0.20.2 + Hbase 0.20.3). Is this the top level directory
related to the following the hbase rootdir, and are you suggest to
create the following?
bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /activity/hbase
bin/hadoop fs -chown hbase /activity/hbase
 
Below is the definition of the root dir:
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>hdfs://hadoopStressServer/activity/hbase</value>

Andy Zhong

Hi Andy,

I guess you are using dfs security, in which case your hbase user does
not have the permission to create the top level directory /hbase in the
dfs. Can you try the following and then start your master? Let us know
how it goes.

bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /hbase
bin/hadoop fs -chown hbase /hbase
