This situation seems to quite confuse Hadoop. The underlying OSX
filesystem doesn't support file and directory names differing only by
case; see

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Mkdirs failed to
create /tmp/hadoop/hadoop-unjar5018665014541152120/license
        at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.unJar(RunJar.java:48)
        at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:136)

That Hadoop error message is somewhat unhelpful, especially for those
who doubt their hadoop knowhow; but technically correct. The
/tmp/hadoop and its subdirectory exist and are writeable. The problem
is the specific file/dir names being written into it. That wasn't so
obvious. So I went chasing around configuring hadoop tmp dirs,
checking it existed and was writable in local and in hdfs dirs, ...
then ... I finally, belatedly tried unzipping the jar with 'jar -xvf '
to see what was special about 'license', and got the same error from
commandline 'jar' that upset !file.getParentFile().isDirectory() in
Hadoop's ./src/core/org/apache/hadoop/util/RunJar.java:

java.io.IOException: license : could not create directory
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.extractFile(Main.java:909)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.extract(Main.java:852)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:242)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1149)

(this is the same error that trips up hadoop)

This seems to be reproducible; I did an svn up, mvn clean and mvn
package, let all the tests run and pass, and confirm that the same
thing happens.

I compared an early job .jar from 0.5, where all was fine. Any
suggestions for best quick fix?

cheers,

Dan
