Hi all,
I'm running Mahout examples from the latest Mahout 0.9 release candidate. I
got this error while running ./cluster-reuters.sh with option 3 lda
clustering. As to the error log, this does not seem to be a Mahout issue
but Hadoop(1.2.1) fails to write to
*/tmp/mahout-work-tkumara/reuters-lda. *This
is however strange because /tmp/mahout-work-tkumara/ does not have a
*reuters-lda
*directory and the exception stack trace complains that the said directory
already exists.

I also checked relevant section in ./cluster-reuters.sh but could not find
anything there.

elif [ "x$clustertype" == "xlda" ]; then
  $MAHOUT seq2sparse \
    -i ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-seqdir/ \
    -o ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-seqdir-sparse-lda -ow --maxDFPercent 85
--namedVector \
  && \
  $MAHOUT rowid \
    -i ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-seqdir-sparse-lda/tfidf-vectors \
    -o ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-matrix \
  && \
  rm -rf ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-topics
${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-model \
  && \
  $MAHOUT cvb \
    -i ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-matrix/matrix \
    -o ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda -k 20 -ow -x 20 \
    -dict ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-seqdir-sparse-lda/dictionary.file-* \
    -dt ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-topics \
    -mt ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-model \
  && \
  $MAHOUT vectordump \
    -i ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-topics/part-m-00000 \
    -o ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda/vectordump \
    -vs 10 -p true \
    -d ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-out-seqdir-sparse-lda/dictionary.file-* \
    -dt sequencefile -sort ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda-topics/part-m-00000 \
    && \
  cat ${WORK_DIR}/reuters-lda/vectordump

So what would possibly be the reason for this exception?
Thanks,
