Reason:
after decompressing the installation package, the user and group of the folder are modified, that is, the following command is executed
chown root:root hadoop3.1.1 After that, start the cluster to report an error.

Solution:
you can only delete the current software folder, decompress the installation package, modify the relevant configuration files, and then format the file system, which is equivalent to operating from the beginning.
