Description

Here's what I see when using Hadoop in Bigtop:

$ sudo /sbin/service hadoop-hdfs-namenode start
Starting Hadoop namenode daemon (hadoop-namenode): chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/hadoop': Operation not permitted
starting namenode, logging to /var/log/hadoop/hadoop-hdfs-namenode-centos5.out

This is a cosmetic issue, but it would be nice to fix it.
