Hi all, Thanks very much for your help.
@Ramya: I created the directory before starting the datanode (I expect it would fail otherwise). Will the datanode create the directory if it doesn't exist? @Giridharan: I do indeed have the "Microsoft Visual C++ x64 Runtime - 10.0.40219". I worked around the problem by changing the dfs.datanode.data.dir.perm property to set a value of "775".
