This is an important change to my presentations. I will incorporate it into my next class.</P> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 07:59:37 GMT wdailey 2017-10-13T07:59:37Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201108#M68576 <P>I have been repeatedly asked why there is no option to create a HDFS working directory during the creation of an Ambari user. I have explained the creation of a working directory requires access to the hdfs user. But it does seems this could be handled through programming. After all we are creating the user while we are the Ambari admin and generally as the cluster admin as well. Is there a practical reason for this situation?</P> Tue, 26 Sep 2017 16:41:27 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201108#M68576 wdailey 2017-09-26T16:41:27Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201109#M68577 <P>AMbari can create user home directory when you create new user in Ambari - <A href="https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.5.2.0/bk_ambari-administration/content/create_user_home_directory.html" target="_blank">https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.5.2.0/bk_ambari-administration/content/create_user_home_directory.html</A></P> Fri, 29 Sep 2017 15:34:32 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201109#M68577 kramalingam 2017-09-29T15:34:32Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201110#M68578 <P>Kartik, thank you very much.

This will allow the Ambari admin to determine if they require the Ambari user account to have a working directory in HDFS at the time of user create.</P> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 08:04:05 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201111#M68579 wdailey 2017-10-13T08:04:05Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Why-is-there-no-option-to-create-hdfs-working-directories/m-p/201112#M68580 <P>I have a question.
