Configuring HDFS for Files View
You need to set up an HDFS proxy user for the Ambari daemon account. For example, if
ambari-server daemon is runnng as root
, you set up a proxy user for
root
in core-site by adding and changing properties in HDFS > Configs >
Custom core-site:
hadoop.proxyuser.root.groups=*
hadoop.proxyuser.root.hosts=*
Restart the required components as indicated by Ambari. If you want to add multiple views, you can restart services once, after making changes for all views.
