This is causing because, ranger plugin is not installed and authorization provider class is registered for ranger. Your config (hdfs-site.xml) will have below xml attribute with the value
ATTRIBUTE : dfs.namenode.inode.attributes.provider.class
VALUE: org.apache.ranger.authorization.hadoop.RangerHdfsAuthorizer
Now search for above attribute in hdfs-site.xml and remove attribute.Now you are good to start the service.
