In HDFS, while using Internet Explorer 11 to run a command to create a folder or set file permission with the Files View in Ambari , the command runs successfully. However, the Files View in IE11 are not displayed in the new folder or file permissions. The HDFS displays that the folders are created when using command line or different browsers such as Firefox and Chrome.

To resolve this issue, clear the cache to see the newly created folders or folder permissions list in the Files View.


For a permanent resolution, do the following to disable the webpage cache in IE 11:

  1. From the top right corner of Internet Explorer 11, click the Settings (Gear) icon
  2. From the Menu, select Internet Options.
  3. On the General tab, locate the Browsing history section, and click Settings.
  4. On the Temporary Internet Files tab, confirm that Every time I visit the webpage is selected.
  5. On the Caches and Databases tab, confirm that Allow website caches and databases is not selected.
  6. Click OK.
