Hi,

I am trying to connect to remote HDFS through Hunk.
I have created an ERP and virtual index.
I am able to run a simple search query and get the results like-' index=testhadoopindex '

But when I am trying to run any other query like- ' index=testhadoopindex | stats count by monthyear ' , I am getting an error like

10-28-2014 04:07:13.003 ERROR ERP.Testhadoop - SetupCommandHandler - org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=hkuser, access=WRITE, inode="hunk":hduser:supergroup:rwxrwxr-x

My Hunk is installed in VM using hkuser and hduser is the user on remote HDFS.

Can you please help?

The user that Hunk is running as (hkuser in your case) needs to have read/write permission to the working directory - here's a link to the docs explaining the necessary permissions.

The simplest solution would be execute the following command as hduser (ie change the ownership of that dir to hkuser)

hadoop fs -chown hkuser hdfs://nnhost:port/path/to/working/dir
