Service 'userhome' check failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: File does not exist: /user/admin

I'm stuck at this problem. Both Pig and Hive views are throwing exceptions. If I try to create /user/admin I get permission denied error. I've setup the clutser on EC2 Ubuntu 14.04 VMs. Looks like a permissions error. Any pointer to resolve or troubleshoot further is appreciated.

You will need to create that directory in the HDFS. So please try creating that directory in the HDFS as following:

sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs  -mkdir /user/admin
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs  -chown admin:hadoop /user/admin
