> when running a fairly large job, of 70+K map tasks, I get many exceptions as shown below, and eventually the job failes when a task fails four times.
> The exception doesn't really tell us enough information to debug this properly, so the first thing to do would be to add more information (path) to the exception.
> The path indicated in the config file exists, is writable and valid, though 'path' may be anything.
> the exception:
> java.io.IOException: No valid local directories in property: mapred.local.dir at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getLocalPath(Configuration.java:293) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf.getLocalPath(JobConf.java:153) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$TaskInProgress.localizeTask(TaskTracker.java:523) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$TaskInProgress.launchTask(TaskTracker.java:572) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.startNewTask(TaskTracker.java:389) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.offerService(TaskTracker.java:303) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.run(TaskTracker.java:418) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.main(TaskTracker.java:920)
