[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8716) Users/Groups are not created
during installation of DEB package
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8716?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13475406#comment-13475406 ]
David Dossot commented on HADOOP-8716:
--------------------------------------
For the sake of others having the same issue, I've been able to workaround the problem by running:
{noformat}sudo groupadd -r hadoop
sudo useradd --comment "Hadoop MapReduce" --shell /bin/bash -M -r --groups hadoop --home /var/lib/hadoop/mapred mapred
sudo useradd --comment "Hadoop HDFS" --shell /bin/bash -M -r --groups hadoop --home /var/lib/hadoop/hdfs hdfs{noformat}
