Error when connecting to HDFS

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to connect to HDFS, but receive the following error:

Alteryx HDFS.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I try to enter the file name manually

Alteryx HDFS browse.png

 

But still receive an error:

 HDFS Error.png

 

Do you have any ideas which could be the root cause of this error?

 

Thanks,

Irina

The error suggests that the credentials you use to authenticate on HDFS doesn't have access to the directory you're attempting to access.

Hi @irina_simionescu,

 

Error in Image 1 is permission error unless you are given that specific permission to access the data. Error in Image 2 is authentication error which may occur due to wrong credentials.

This is strange, because the same user that created the directory in HDFS is used for the connection Alteryx-Hadoop

If that's the case it might be worth raising the issue with support@alteryx.com
