Known Issues Fixed in Cloudera Manager 4.1.3

— When creating an HDFS directory, Cloudera Manager performs chown and chmod commands on the HDFS directory even if it already exists with user-configured permissions.

Cloudera Manager allows creation of HDFS directories using actions such as Create /tmp Directory for an HDFS service, Create Root Directory for an HBase service, Create Beeswax's Hive Warehouse Directory for a Hue service. These actions execute the chown and chmod commands on the HDFS directories according to Cloudera Manager's recommendations even if the directories already exist with different permissions. The creation of the directories and the chown and chmod commands are usually performed while adding a service and is also available as an action for each service.

Severity: Low

Resolution: Fixed in Cloudera Manager 4.1.3.

Workaround: Reset the permissions to the desired settings. Upgrade to Cloudera Manager 4.1.3.
