Exception from container-launch exitCode=1 hadoop

Question

I have installed hadoop 2.8.1 in windows without cygwin. I am able to start hadoop by start-all.cmd. But when I run wordcount.jar, I get below error

command : hadoop jar WordCount.jar WordCount G:/Hadoop/input output

stderr file in userlogs only contains 1 line : The system cannot find the path specified. I dont understand which file it is not able to find.

Answer 1

You are giving a local file as the input file. Wordcount program expects a HDFS file/directory as an input hence it is failing.

Please put the file in HDFS and try once again. It should work.
