Unable to create a new folder like /dezyre in HDFS.

hi Narsing,

you cannot create folders/files in the root "/" location. please create directoreis/files in cloudera users hdfs location (hdfs fs -mkdir user/cloudera/test)

Still doesn't work.I think user needs to be part of
supergroup.

[cloudera@localhost input]$ hadoop fs -mkdir /usr/cloudera/test
mkdir: Permission denied: user=cloudera, access=WRITE, inode="/":hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x

hi Narsing,

your command is wrong, all hdfs in cloudera need to be created under "/user/clouder" not "usr"

hdfs fs -mkdir /user/cloudera/test
