          The command which need to be executed as hdfs is shorter. Thy something like:



          su -l hdfs -c "hadoop fs -du -s /home/test/*" | awk ' sum += $1 END print sum ' 


          And better use sudo for this purpose:



          sudo -u hdfs "hadoop fs -du -s /home/test/*" | awk ' sum += $1 END print sum '
