After downloading Hortonworks Data Platform 2.3.2 and loading it into VirtualBox on mac os x yosemite, I started the first tutorial for Apache Spark. But I didn’t get far. the command to copy the wikipedia page to HDF failed with a permission denied message:
hadoop fs -put ~/Hortonworks /user/guest/Hortonworks
[root@sandbox ~]# hadoop fs -put ~/Hortonworks /user/guest/Hortonworks
put: Permission denied: user=root, access=WRITE, inode=”/user/guest/Hortonworks._COPYING_”:guest:guest:drwxr-xr-x
It doesn’t speak well that such a basic scenario is broken. Is there a workaround?
