    /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-client/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh --config $HADOOP_CONF_DIR start namenode
  3. Execute the following commands on the SecondaryNameNode:

    su - $HDFS_USER
    /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-client/sbin
/hadoop-daemon.sh --config $HADOOP_CONF_DIR start secondarynamenode
  4. Execute the following commands on all DataNodes:

    su - $HDFS_USER
