I am setting up a CDH (5.8) Cluster with Cloudera Manager and Parcels. Most of the services are installed and running fine with an exception of HDFS HTTPFS role and Oozie. I am using a custom parcel directory on the agents  and also I am running SELinux in Enforcing mode (Please dont ask me to put it to permissive 🙂 ).

 

Both has similar isssue where its trying to move some files (related to tomcat) from the parcel's directory to /var/lib/<directory>.

 

When I checked the permissions of the directories in /var/lib I could see that most of the directories are created without any permissions set on them.

 

 

$ ls -l /var/lib/ | grep ^d-
d---------.  2 root         root            6 Jan 13 00:28 flume-ng

Is this expected?

 

For Oozie, I changed the permission of /var/lib/oozie to 700 and changed the ownership to oozie:oozie fixed the issue.

 

What would be the reason for this permission issue and how could be this fixed.

 

Thanks in advance.
