How to resolve java.lang.RuntimeException: PipeMapRed.waitOutputThreads(): subprocess failed with code 2?

Question

I am trying to execute NLTK in Hadoop environment. Following is the command which i used for execution.

bin/hadoop jar $HADOOP_HOME/contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.0.4.jar -input /user/nltk/input/ -output /user/nltk/output1/ -file /home/hduser/softwares/NLTK/unsupervised_sentiment-master.zip -mapper /home/hduser/softwares/NLTK/unsupervised_sentiment-master/sentiment.py

unsupervised_sentiment-master.zip --- contains all the dependent files required for sentiment.py

I am getting

java.lang.RuntimeException: PipeMapRed.waitOutputThreads(): subprocess failed with code 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You should check the logs using the jobtracker in the HadoopUI they will help you out — viper, Jul 15 '13 at 16:44

Could you pls post the python files? My guess is that, you need to add #!/usr/bin/python to the top of your py file. This was the case when I was streaming using python.

Adding below line to the top of python script made the code work for me.

#!/usr/bin/python

In my case `#!/usr/local/bin/python` was correct, one may also check this out. – schiegg Nov 05 '21 at 13:44

In your sentiment.py file, add the following line to the top:

```

!/usr/bin/env python

```

This worked for me.

I can't say exactly what your error is, but mine was that I had an unresolved dependency in my python script. Namely statsmodels.
