I found a workaround to the exact issue and error message encountered by the OP. I think this only applies to running hadoop (0.20.2) a Windows (cygwin) environment
Add the following setting to the mapred-site.xml: <property> <name>hadoop.job.history.user.location</name> <value>none</value> <final>true</final> </property> I have not tried it with this value explicitly set to anything else, or without the use of the final tag, but I imagine it might work setting it to something else. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Nutch-and-Hadoop-not-working-proper-tp618417p3355568.html Sent from the Nutch - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
