If you are not using Kerberos security, this step sends the username of the logged-in user when copying the files regardless of the username entered in the connect field. To change the username, set the environment variable HADOOP_USER_NAME to the username you want to use. You can set the username by changing the OPT variable in the spoon.bat or spoon.sh file as shown in the following example:
OPT="$OPT .... -DHADOOP_USER_NAME=HadoopNameToSpoof"
