I am new to hadoop.I have installed hadoop using cygwin in windows 7. Now I am trying to run Wordcount example. when using the command:-

bin/hadoop jar hadoop-examples-1.2.1.jar WordCount /user/Taniya/input /user/Taniya/output

An error is shown:-

Mkdirs failed to create >\cygwin64\home\Taniya\tmp\hadoop-cyg_server

I have looked through the web and the solutions provided are not clear to me. Looking for a solution that is clearly stated.

Check if you have permissions to write into local path: \cygwin64\home\Taniya\tmp\hadoop-cyg_server – Manjunath Ballur Dec 18 '15 at 14:10
