Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to run a simple word count program in Hadoop, but I am getting the below error.

 exception in the thread "main" java.io.IOException: Mkdirs failed to create /user/hadoop/name

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

 I think you missed to add below property in mapred-site.xml file. So, add this property and try once again.

<property>
    <name>mapreduce.jobtracker.address</name>
    <value>localhost:9000</value>
</property>

Hope this will solve your error.
