copyFromLocal: `/user/hduser/gutenberg': No such file or directory

Question

I have followed the guide of michael-noll so far but got stuck here.

hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /tmp/gutenberg /user/hduser/gutenberg
DEPRECATED: Use of this script to execute hdfs command is deprecated.
Instead use the hdfs command for it.

13/11/11 23:24:13 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
copyFromLocal: `/user/hduser/gutenberg': No such file or directory

hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$

I have tried reformatting the name node with 'Y' but getting same result every time for any arbitrary folder name.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

Solved it by using the command like:

hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /user/hduser  

Solution 2
