>                 Key: HADOOP-8114
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8114
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1
>         Environment: Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) - Installed .deb package from mirror using dpkg. 
>            Reporter: Martin A. Juell

> When I run hadoop using 
> {{$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode start}} (or whatever service), 
> it creates pid file {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-root-namenode.pid}}. 
> When the namenode is automatically started at boot, the file is called
> {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop--namenode.pid}} , i.e. the user part is missing. 
> Either way, doing {{/etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode}} status always returns an error exit code. 
> I've snooped around a bit, and the cause seems to be that the name of the pid file to look for is hardcoded: 
> {code:title=/etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode:89|borderStyle=solid}
> if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile ${HADOOP_PID_DIR}/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid; then
> {code} 
> {{start-stop-daemon -c}} doesn't change the {{$USER}} variable, but it appears that it should be set. I tried prepending {{USER=hdfs}} to the above line, starting the namenode, and now the pid file was named {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid}} , i.e. what we want. 
> Assuming I've understood this correctly, an easy solution is to make the init scripts use a method of changing user where the {{$USER}} variable is also changed. 
> This applies to all init scripts, not just the namenode.
> Error present in both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1, possibly earlier versions also.
