  1. In Ambari Web, browse to Services > HDFS > Configs > Advanced.
  2. Click Custom hdfs-site, then click Add Property.
  3. On the Add Property pop-up, add the following property:
    dfs.user.home.base.dir=[HOME_DIRECTORY]
    Where [HOME_DIRECTORY] is the path to the new home directory.
  4. Click Add, then save the new configuration and restart, as prompted.
