Oozie job failure – Error: E0501 : E0501: Could not perform authorization operation, User: hadoop is not allowed to impersonate hadoop

Hi hadoopers,

I’m sorry for resuming the tutorials. I need to complete a project first. Tutorial posts would be resumed after this.

Today, I tried to form a workflow with Oozie. Here is the way I executed it.

[code language=”bash”]

hadoop@gandhari:/opt/hadoop-2.6.4/workspace/oozie$ ../../oozie/bin/oozie job –oozie http://gandhari:11000/oozie/ -Doozie.wf.application.path=hdfs://gandhari:9000/user/hadoop/feed/myflow.xml -dryrun

[/code]

Unfortunately it is broken with the following error.

[code]

Error: E0501 : E0501: Could not perform authorization operation, User: hadoop is not allowed to impersonate hadoop

[/code]

oozie_workflow

hadoop is my OS user. It is the user who is running the Oozie daemon as well. core-site.xml should contain the following entry to proxy this user.

[code language=”xml”]

<property>
<name>hadoop.proxyuser.hadoop.groups</name>
<value>*</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>hadoop.proxyuser.hadoop.hosts</name>
<value>gandhari</value>
</property>
</configuration>

[/code]

hadoop – OS user name

gandhari – hostname
