Hi all. I'm trying to run the examples/bin/build-reuters.sh but I continue to run into the following exception.

I am also confused reading the build-reuters.sh code itself. There seems to be some disjunction between what is expected to be local and what should be on HDFS. For example on the comments on 77-79 are:

# we know reuters-out-seqdir exists on a local disk at
# this point, if we're running in clustered mode,
# copy it up to hdfs

However upon inspection you'll notice that the reueters-out-seqdir is actually on HDFS. It seems like the seqdirectory will never write to local disk... even with the MAHOUT_LOCAL=true flag set.

Any ideas?

Thanks
