Hadoop Connect job error

[jedatt01]

When I try to push to my hadoop cluster I get the following error which appears to be permissions related. Can someone help me to resolve the issue?

Failed to create cursor file: hdfs://10.144.64.195:8020/datasift_sample/9c6abd2095cd036a1d82834c234e5c65.1349092800.cursor.0. touchz: `hdfs://10.144.64.195:8020/datasift_sample/9c6abd2095cd036a1d82834c234e5c65.1349092800.cursor.0': No such file or directory

You should give permissions to root like following.
# su hdfs
$ hadoop fs -chmod 777 /datashift_sample
# exit
Try it.

Does the Splunk system user have write permission on your Hadoop cluster? You can easily test this from the CLI using the following:

Looks like the splunk user doesn't have permissions. Can you show me how to add?
