You should create the directory as `hduser` not as `ubuntu` user. – Rajesh N May 04 '15 at 10:58

This can be achieved in two ways :-
1) Run the command using hdfs user
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/ubuntu/
2) Change the ownership of the folders using the hdfs user so that you may not face problems while creating directories inside it or using it.
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs -chowm ubuntu:ubuntu /user/ubuntu/
Now user ubuntu will take the ownership of the ubuntu directory in Hadoop file system.

you may use hadoop fs -mkdir "name of the folder" for eg: hadoop fs -mkdir /user/training/folder – Mohit Singh May 03 '18 at 07:37

You should create this as hduser and not ubuntu user. This should work:
sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdr $dir
