Hello Harsh,   Apologies for very late reply. However, was stuck in some other issues.   I am using Cloudera-udacity 4.1.1 VM which has come preconfigured with the said version.   I am logged in with training as user.   Upon attempting the said commands, I found that folder training did not exist instead a folder 'hive-training' was present. So I renamed hive-training to training in HDFS and then was able to execute the said commands.   [training@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -ls /tmp/training [training@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -ls -d /tmp/training Found 1 items drwxr-xr-x - training supergroup 0 2015-12-09 01:59 /tmp/training [training@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -ls -d /tmp/ Found 1 items drwxrwxrwt - hdfs supergroup 0 2015-12-28 09:52 /tmp [training@localhost ~]$ Also, I noticed Hive warehouse is stored under /user.

Thank you for the response Michalis.   I have got tied up with other tasks currently and would have to work on this over the weekend. Will perform the suggested steps and post back the results.   Just to confirm, once the installation is completed I should be able to login to CM console, correct.   Thanks Snm1523 ... View more

Thank you for the response Michalis.   No it did not start by itself.   Also, I tried to install CM again with Embedded database already installed, this time it failed on the next step after Embedded database installation.   For now I have cleaned my VMs and CM is not installed neither the embedded database.   Thanks snm1523 ...
