Hello Hylson, Thank you for the offer to contribute a documentation improvement.
I'd expect this to work without explicitly running mkdir first. In fact, creating the directory first yields a different final result. As written, the instructions will produce /user/<username>/input/*. Changing it to mkdir input explicitly first will produce /user/<username>/input/hadoop/*. I just tested this against a current trunk build, and this is the behavior that I saw. In this particular case, it appears that we don't need to make a change. However, for future contributions, please refer to this document: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute The source for the SingleCluster.html page is in the Hadoop source tree at hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/site/apt/SingleCluster.apt.vm. In general, documentation sources will be in a src/site sub-directory under the relevant sub-module.
