Hello,
I have experienced this same error running on HDP 2.1. I was able to submit the cluster definitions but submitting emailIngestProcess.xml generates the error mentioned above except rather than “impersonate hdfs” I hdfs is replaced with my username. I have attempted to “su falcon” but that simply gives the same error ending with “User: falcon is not allowed to impersonate falcon”…
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
