hadoop MapReduce exception with multiple nodes

Question

I include a self-contained sequence of commands that lead to the issue. I have a work-in-progress Cluster configuration. It is also worth noting that this same example worked fine when I didn't have all the resource and history managers configured in yarn-site.xml and mapred-site.xml.

The problem Cannot create directory /user/deploy/QuasiMonteCarlo_1391523248477_997612342/in appears to be a wrong file path prefix somewhere because the relevant user directories are:

• /home/deploy/
• /home/deploy/hdfs
• /home/deploy/hdfs/name
• /home/deploy/hdfs/data

So how come it tries accessing /user/deploy ?

Answer 1

you can try below command.

$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave

Answer 2

Job is being kicked off before namenode is out of safemode after startup. Starting job after namenode leaves safemode will fix the issue.
