MapReduce on Hadoop says 'Output file already exists'

I ran a wordcount example using Mapreduce the first time, and it worked. Then, I stopped the cluster, started it back in a while, and followed the same procedure.

Showed this error: 

10P:/$  hadoop jar /usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.6.0.jar wordcount /user/test/tester /user/output

I think you need to use hadoop fs to check your FileSystem whether it have the directory

hadoop fs -ls /user/output

# if have the directory
hadoop fs -rm -r /user/output

if you not use the absolute path, it

hdfs://localhost:54310/user/output

Delete the output directory before running the job.

i.e execute the following command:

hadoop fs -rm -r /user/output

before running the job.

Simply write the driver code like this

public class TestDriver extends Configured implements Tool {
    static Configuration cf;
    @Override
    public int run(String[] arg0) throws IOException,InterruptedException,ClassNotFoundException {
        cf=new Configuration();
        Job j=Job.getInstance(cf);
        j.setJarByClass(TestDriver.class);
        j.setMapperClass(CustMapper.class);
        j.setMapperClass(TxnMapper.class);
        j.setMapOutputKeyClass(CustKey.class);
        j.setMapOutputValueClass(Text.class);
        j.setReducerClass(JoinReducer.class);
        j.setOutputKeyClass(CustKey.class);
        j.setOutputValueClass(Text.class);
//FOCUS ON THE LINE BELOW
        Path op=new Path(arg0[2]);
        j.setInputFormatClass(CustInputFormat.class);
        MultipleInputs.addInputPath(j, new Path(arg0[0]),CustInputFormat.class,CustMapper.class);
        MultipleInputs.addInputPath(j, new Path(arg0[1]),ShopIpFormat.class,TxnMapper.class);
        j.setOutputFormatClass(CustTxOutFormat.class);
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(j, op);
//WRITING THIS LINE SHALL DELETE THE OUTPUT FOLDER AFTER YOU'RE DONE WITH THE //JOB
        op.getFileSystem(cf).delete(op,true);

        return j.waitForCompletion(true)?0:1;
    }

    public static void main(String argv[])throws Exception{
        int res=ToolRunner.run(cf, new TestDriver(), argv);
        System.exit(res);
    }
}

Hope this clears your doubt.

Thanks :)

Add the following code snippet in your configuration class.

    // Delete output if exists
    FileSystem hdfs = FileSystem.get(conf);
    if (hdfs.exists(outputDir))
      hdfs.delete(outputDir, true);

    // Execute job
    int code = job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1;
    System.exit(code);
