Hi Eric. Try './tmp' (or current working directory).

I'm currently using /tmp/ as a temporary location to write data to and perform operations like decompression. If a mapper fails, the temporary filesare left behind on the nodes. Is there a way to get a temp location from Hadoop, that is cleaned after the Map job finishes? I'm sure there must be a better way to do this ;-) I'm using Hadoop version 0.20.2 (the Cloudera distribution) Thanks in advance! Eric
