The following line specifically: SpectralKMeansDriver.run(conf, affinities, output, vectors.size(), noOfClusters, measure, onvergenceDelta, maxIterations, tmp, false);
where other variables are set accordingly. I can send the whole file if required. It shows the following in the log which helped me identify that it is using the user tmp directory: 15/04/01 01:18:13 WARN mapred.JobClient: Use GenericOptionsParser for parsing the arguments.
