Job Token file not found when running Hadoop wordcount example

Question

I just installed Hadoop successfully on a small cluster. Now I'm trying to run the wordcount example but I'm getting this error:

Any help?

Does the path `/tmp/mapred/local` exist, and does the user under which the hadoop services run have permission to write to this directory? — Chris White, Apr 24 '12 at 18:30
IIRC you have to chown that dir or be a user in a group with those permissions. Otherwise you will get fnf — apesa, Apr 24 '12 at 21:50

I just worked through this same error--setting the permissions recursively on my Hadoop directory didn't help. Following Mohyt's recommendation here, I modified core-site.xml (in the hadoop/conf/ directory) to remove the place where I specified the temp directory (hadoop.tmp.dir in the XML). After allowing Hadoop to create its own temp directory, I'm running error-free.

It is better to create your own temp directory.

<configuration>
 <property>
 <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
 <value>/home/unmesha/mytmpfolder/tmp</value>
 <description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
 </property>
.....

And give permission

unmesha@unmesha-virtual-machine:~$chmod 750 /mytmpfolder/tmp

check this for core-site.xml configuration
