Hi,  
I couldn't able to create the HDFS repository on my elasticsearch cluster. Here is the request and response:

Could someone please help me how do I resolve this issue. Thanks !

```auto

{
  "type": "hdfs",
  "settings": {
    "uri": "hdfs://173.20.158.196:9000",
    "path": "elasticsearch/repositories/my_staging_hdfs",
    "conf.dfs.client.read.shortcircuit": "true",
    "conf.dfs.domain.socket.path": "true",
    "compress": true
  }
}

Response:

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_verification_exception",
        "reason": "[my_staging_hdfs] [[2NDinVP7TYitBlXUdN8GkQ, 'RemoteTransportException[[node-1][173.20.159.94:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryVerificationException[[my_staging_hdfs] a file written by master to the store [hdfs://173.20.158.196:9000/user/Admin-002$/elasticsearch/repositories/my_staging_hdfs] cannot be accessed on the node [{node-1}{2NDinVP7TYitBlXUdN8GkQ}{DzjkHnVvR5OBPautd-z8Yw}{173.20.159.94}{173.20.159.94:9300}].
