how many hdfs users do we have?

[#1]

When I started working with HDFS commands, with my HDP sandbox I do see,

/home/hdfs (in local file system)

and

/user/hdfs (in HDFS file system)

What is the difference between these two hdfs users.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

These are home directories for 'hdfs' user. /home/hdfs is linux home directory for hdfs and /user/hdfs is HDFS filesystem homedirecotry for user 'hdfs'

[#3]

So, you mean, here we have only one user called hdfs with 2 home directories.

one for local File System

the second for HDFS File System..

Is it ?

[#4]

Correct.
