Cannot save RDD as text file to local file system

[Wang, Ningjun (LNG-NPV)]

I try to save RDD as text file to local file system (Linux) but it does not work

Launch spark-shell and run the following

val r = sc.parallelize(Array("a", "b", "c"))
r.saveAsTextFile("file:///home/cloudera/tmp/out1<file:///\\home\cloudera\tmp\out1>")


IOException: Mkdirs failed to create

I also try with 4 slash but still get the same error
r.saveAsTextFile("file:////home/cloudera/tmp/out1<file:///\\home\cloudera\tmp\out1>")

Please advise
