hi Edgar,

Please let us know whether you are carrying these commands on Ubuntu or on Cloudera and whats the hadoop user which was created and the group he was added to:

Looking at the error, the user "hduser" is not existing on the system.

CentOS/Cloudera.

Edgar,

On your local system looks like you donot have the hduser user created.

As a typical setup process it is a good process to create a hadoop group and a hduser user added to that group.

You can do that with the root/super user account with the following commands.

$ sudo adduser --ingroup hadoop hduser

(This assumes you have the hadoop group setup. If that is not setup you can create a group with
$ sudo addgroup hadoop


Sarath.
