Run the command "ssh-keygen" in the master node, it will generate two files, in which move "id_rsa.pub" to child node and rename it as authorizedkey and change the permission to 600.

 

This is required for keyless entry

 

You can refer this link with above understanding

It is authorized_key

 

nothing to do with hdfs here. so it is user:linux group (instead of hdfs group)
