Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-864: -------------------------------------- The File interface is problematic to use with the boolean return codes, however, the better way to structure the calls is with: tmpDir.mkdirs(); if (!tmpDir.exists()) { ... } since that way, if two threads/processes both try to create the directory they both succeed. > bin/hadoop jar throws file creation exception for temp files > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-864 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-864 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Sanjay Dahiya > Assigned To: Sanjay Dahiya > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Hadoop-864.patch > > > bin/hadoop throw file creation exception if hadoop.tmp.dir doesn't exist. > $ bin/hadoop jar build/hadoop-streaming.jar > Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: No such file or directory > at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) > at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(File.java:1345) > at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1434) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:109) > it should create the hadoop.tmp.dir before trying File.createTempFile -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
