[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-16335) ERROR: namenode can only be executed by root while executing "hdfs namenode -format"

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16335?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Masatake Iwasaki resolved HADOOP-16335.
---------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

I think this is coufiguration issue. If you define env var HDFS_NAMENODE_USER=root in hadoop-env.sh or somewhere and run the command by another user, you will get the error.
{noformat}
$ HDFS_NAMENODE_USER=root bin/hadoop namenode -format
WARNING: Use of this script to execute namenode is deprecated.
WARNING: Attempting to execute replacement "hdfs namenode" instead.

ERROR: namenode can only be executed by root.

I'm closing this as invalid. Please reopen if this turns out to be bug in scripts.
