I'm trying to do a hadoop installation.
I am following this article for hadoop installation instructions. One of the steps I need to do is to format the hadoop file system using the command:
root@ben-Aspire-E5-575G:~# hadoop namenode -format
I got the following error
2018-10-12 00:08:16,884 INFO namenode.NameNode: registered UNIX signal handlers for [TERM, HUP, INT]
2018-10-12 00:08:16,896 INFO namenode.NameNode: createNameNode [-format]
