Set the permissions in the yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs directories. Run these commands on all DataNodes in your cluster.

chown -R yarn:hadoop ${yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs}

chmod 755 ${yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs}

where ${yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs} is your local directory.

Change the permissions of the directories in yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs. If these directories do not exist, you can create them using the instructions in the Create Directories section of the Non-Ambari Cluster Installation Guide. Run these commands on all DataNodes in your cluster.

chown -R yarn:hadoop ${yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs}

chmod 755 ${yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs}

where ${yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs} is your log directory.

Create directories for YARN_LOG_DIR and YARN_PID_DIR.

For example, in yarn-env.sh:

YARN_LOG_DIR=/grid/0/var/log/hadoop/yarn

YARN_PID_DIR=/grid/0/var/run/hadoop/yarn

Make directories for ${YARN_LOG_DIR} and ${YARN_PID_DIR} and set the appropriate permissions for them.

mkdir ${YARN_LOG_DIR}

chown yarn:hadoop ${YARN_LOG_DIR}

chmod 755 ${YARN_LOG_DIR}

mkdir ${YARN_PID_DIR}

chown yarn:hadoop ${YARN_PID_DIR}

chmod 755 ${YARN_PID_DIR}
