namenoderpcaddress is not specified

Question

I am trying this command on my hadoop cluster (Cloudera 5.4.1)

curl -i http://webhdfs:50075/webhdfs/v1/user/admin/test/test.txt?user.name=admin&op=OPEN&namenoderpcaddress=namenode:8022; echo

Here I have confirmed that webhdfs, namenode machine names are all correct and ports 50075 and 8022 are correct.

But I get an error

I was able to resolve the problem. when accessing webhdfs the URL should point to the name node. So rather than saying datanode:50075 you should say namename:50070

so I change my URL to

curl -i http://namenode:50070/webhdfs/v1/user/admin/test/test.txt?op=GETFILESTATUS; echo

how did I find "50070"? in your cloudera manager search for "NameNode Web UI Port"
