Hadoop: require root's password after enter “start-all.sh”

Question

I have installed Hadoop and SSH on my laptop. \"ssh localhost\" works fine. After formatting HDFS, I tried to start hadoop.

munichong@GrindPad:~$ sudo /usr/         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem. As Amar said,if you are running as sudo hadoop will ask for root password. If you don't have a root password, you can setup one using

 sudo passwd
