As part of my Java mapper I have a command executes some standalone
code on a local slave node. When I run a code it executes fine, unless
it is trying to access some local files in which case I get the error
that it cannot locate those files.
Digging a little deeper it seems to be executing from the following directory:
/data/hadoop/mapred/local/taskTracker/{user}/jobcache/job_201109261253_0023/attempt_201109261253_0023_m_000001_0/work
But I am intending to execute from a local directory where the
relevant files are located:
/home/users/{user}/input/jobname
Is there a way in java/hadoop to force the execution from the local
directory, instead of the jobcache directory automatically created in
hadoop?
Is there perhaps a better way to go about this?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Joris
