Hadoop Wordcount example failing due to AM container - windows

Question

I've been trying to run the hadoop wordcount example for a while now, however I am facing some issues. I have hadoop 2.7.1 and running it on Windows. Below are the error details:
command:
yarn jar C:\hadoop-2.7.1\share\hadoop\mapreduce\hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.7.1.jar wordcount input output

Any idea on what is going wrong?

Answer 1

exitCode: 1639 Looks like your are running hadoop on Windows .

Answer 2

I faced exactly same problem. I was following a guide on how to install Hadoop 2.6.0 (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~shantas/Install_Hadoop-2.6.0_on_Windows10.pdf) while actually installing Hadoop 2.8.0.
As soon as I was done I ran
hadoop jar D:\hadoop-2.8.0\share\hadoop\mapreduce\hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.8.0.jar wordcount /foo/bar/LICENSE.txt /out1
And got (from yarn nodemanager's logs):
17/06/19 13:15:30 INFO monitor.ContainersMonitorImpl: Starting resource-monitoring for container_1497902417767_0004_01_000001
17/06/19 13:15:30 INFO nodemanager.DefaultContainerExecutor: launchContainer: [D:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin\winutils.exe, task, create, -m, -1, -c, -1, container_1497902417767_0004_01_000001, cmd /c D:/hadoop/temp/nm-localdir/usercache/******/appcache/application_1497902417767_0004/container_1497902417767_0004_01_000001/default_container_executor.cmd]
17/06/19 13:15:30 WARN nodemanager.DefaultContainerExecutor: Exit code from container container_1497902417767_0004_01_000001 is : 1639
17/06/19 13:15:30 WARN nodemanager.DefaultContainerExecutor: Exception from container-launch with container ID: container_1497902417767_0004_01_000001 and exit code: 1639
ExitCodeException exitCode=1639: Incorrect command line arguments.
TaskExit: error (1639): Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help.
Another symptom was (from yarn nodemanager's logs):
17/06/19 13:25:49 WARN util.SysInfoWindows: Expected split length of sysInfo to be 11. Got 7
The solution was to get compatible (with Hadoop 2.8.0) binaries: https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils/tree/master/hadoop-2.8.0-RC3/bin
Once I got a correct winutils.exe, my problem went away.
