                 Key: HADOOP-528
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-528
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Sanjay Dahiya
             Fix For: 0.7.0


On some nodes hadoop distcp fails with folowing error. The property 
dfs.client.buffer.dir is defined in hadoop-site.xml and the corresponding 
directory is also created on the node by framework. Same configuration works on 
all other nodes. 

It could be a timing issue where someone is trying to read the dir before its 
created on local disk, I am not sure of the cause. 

java.io.IOException: No valid local directories in property:
