Description

User directories on HDFS do not get created with custom names provided from Ambari UI
Steps:
1. Using install wizard of Ambari , at Customize Services step change the user names under misc tab. For example change hive user to hivetest , oozie user to ooziest, hcat user to chattiest
2. Complete installation of the cluster
3. Post install check the users on hdfs
hadoop fs -ls /user
drwxr-xr-x - hcat hdfs 0 2013-03-12 19:43 /user/hcat
drwx------ - hivetest hdfs 0 2013-03-12 19:42 /user/hive
drwxrwxr-x - oozietest hdfs 0 2013-03-12 19:46 /user/oozie

Also note the userid of the files for webhcat is still the default instead of chattiest
