1. Adding a Smoke Test User

Creating a smoke test user lets you run HDP smoke tests without having to run them as the hadoop user. To create a smoke test user:

Open a command prompt as the hadoop user:
```
runas /user:hadoop cmd
```
Change permissions on the MapReduce directory to include other users:
```
%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\hadoop fs -chmod -R 757 /mapred
```

Create a HDFS directory for the smoketest user:

%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\hadoop dfs -mkdir -p /user/smoketestuser

Change ownership to the smoketest user.

%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\hadoop dfs -chown -R smoketestuser /user/smoketestuser

Create a smoketest user account in Windows.
1. Navigate to Computer Management.
2. Select Local Users and Groups > File > Action > New User on Windows Server 2008 or Local Users and Groups > Action > New User on Windows Server 2012.
  The New User dialog displays:
3. Create the username and password for your smoke test user. Determine password requirements and select Create.
Validate the smoketest user by running smoketests as the smoketest user.
1. Switch to a command prompt as the smoktest user. For example:
```
runas /user:smoketestuser cmd
```
2. In the smoketest user, run the smoke tests:
```
%HADOOP_HOME%\Run-Smoketests.cmd
```
