Filesystem root '/' should be owned by 'hdfs' shows when configuration with hue

Question

Here is my settings

But it shows error message like this

Current value: http://master ip:50070/webhdfs/v1
Filesystem root '/' should be owned by 'hdfs'

Answer 1

Changing the code is not good approach You can change in config file in 'hue/desktop/conf/pseudo-distributed.ini' under [desktop] section

 default_hdfs_superuser=hdfs

          to  

 default_hdfs_superuser=hduser

Answer 2

I modified the "DEFAULT_HDFS_SUPERUSER" name to my current user name under

desktop/libs/hadoop/src/hadoop/fs/webhdfs.py
