HOD exception: java.io.IOException: No valid local directories in property: mapred.local.dir

Hi All,

I was trying to run the program using HOD on a cluster, when I allocate
using 5 nodes, it runs fine, but when I allocate using 6 nodes, everytime I
tried to run a program, I get this error:

11/04/11 19:45:50 WARN conf.Configuration: DEPRECATED: hadoop-site.xml found
in the classpath. Usage of hadoop-site.xml is deprecated. Instead use
core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml to override properties of
core-default.xml, mapred-default.xml and hdfs-default.xml respectively
