Hadoop Mapreduce failing with CreateSymbolicLink

Question

Team,

Please be informed that i am running Hadoop mapreduce examples (Version 2.7.1). It is failing with below error.

Exit code: 1
Exception message: CreateSymbolicLink error (1314): A required privilege is not held by the client.
Stack trace: ExitCodeException exitCode=1: CreateSymbolicLink error (1314): A required privilege is not held by the client.

Failing this attempt. Failing the application.

I have searched in google. It seems to be permission issue.

My assumption is Mapreduce is accessing some restricted path/location. Is there any way that i can change the accessing location?

Since i dont have admin permission..

Note : I am running in windows....

Your suggestions are highly appreciated...

Unfortunate that i cant both... Since i have only one drive. Ans as said earlier i dont have admin rights... Is there any scope to identify the path it is trying to access? — VinayS, Nov 18 '16 at 09:55
