4. Set Up the WebHCat Configuration Files

There are several configuration files that need to be set up for WebHCat.

From the file you downloaded in Download Companion Files, extract the files in configuration_files/webhcat directory to a temporary location.

Copy the modified WebHCat configuration files and set appropriate permissions:

 rm -rf $WEBHCAT_CONF_DIR/*

Copy all the config files to $WEBHCAT_CONF_DIR

chown -R $WEBHCAT_USER:$HADOOP_GROUP $WEBHCAT_CONF_DIR
chmod -R 755 $WEBHCAT_CONF_DIR
