I have started to use BigInsight Quick Start Edition 4.1 and the BigSheet Service. I encountered following problem. I've started with this tutorial: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPT3X_4.1.0/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.biginsights.tut.doc/doc/tut_Less_collSoclMediaData.html
But I can't access the DFS Files from the BigSheets WebUI in my browser. I'm logged in as biadmin like recommended. The other Services are working correctly. And I can access the HDFS over the UI from Ambari Server.

Are you using bluemix (cloud) or on your virtual machine ?

You can try doing impersonation of biadmin user and try your scenario.

Login to Ambari UI, then go to HDFS --> Config --> Advanced --> Custom core-site

Update or Add the property

hadoop.proxyuser.biadmin.groups=*

hadoop.proxyuser.biadmin.hosts=*

After changing the property, you need to restart the HDFS then restart the BigInsightsHome , BigSheet & Knox. Go to Knox and stop the Demo LDAP and start the Demo LDAP and try your scenario.

  • I'm using the virtual machine image. And I also tested the Docker Image, but with both I get problems. I will test your solution. Thanks – steM May 08 '16 at 07:04
  • I tested your suggestion but I can't access DFS Files correctly. I did the following steps inside the VM. su hdfs hdfs dfs –chmod –R 777 / After this I could access the top-level directories of the hdfs like tmp or user but not the subdirectories of these folders. In the WebUI of BigSheets I can't traverse the folders. Any other suggestion? – steM May 08 '16 at 07:29

  • I restarted all the components but my problem already exists. I can't access the subdirectories of the hdfs from the WebUi in New Workbook. Thanks for advices – steM May 10 '16 at 05:13
