Re: Error creating done directory: [file:/user/history/done]

Hello @vec

It seems like it is trying to use a local file system instead of HDFS.

Can you check what the value is set for hdfs_service in CM -> YARN -> Configuration > hdfs_service ?

Make sure it is set to use "hdfs"

After changing to powerscale hdfs in YARN , then it works. Thank you @Scharan

@Scharan how do you tell it is using local file system in the log ?

@vec file:/ represents the local file system.
