hdfs user and commands

honza_nguyen1 — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 18:13:18 GMT

Hello guys,

I am working with Hortonworks sandbox 2.6 at the first time. I am trying to copy data from local machine to

HDFS. First I tried the command su hdfs but got a message > user hdfs does not exist.

Second i would like to run HIVE in command line but the command hive is not working (hive:command not found).

Could you guys help me with these issues?

Thank you

Please make sure that you have logged in to your Sandbox on SSH port 2222 only. Else those commands will not work.

#  ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222
Enter Password:  hadoop

The try to execute those commands:

[root@sandbox ~]# su - hdfs
[hdfs@sandbox ~]$ hdfs dfs -put /var/log/messages /tmp

Other option will be to use the WebTerminal feature to access the terminal using Browser using the following URL.

http://localhost:4200
