UnsatisfiedLinkError when running Hadoop MapReduce Java program

Question

I am trying to run this Map Reduce program with Hadoop on Windows 8.1. After much effort, I have gotten it pretty close to working. I've got Java 1.8.0_45 and Hadoop-2.7.0. I also have the winutils.exe and hadoop.dll which have caused issues for a lot of people.

Here is the code:

public class OSProject {

public static class Map extends MapReduceBase implements
        Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {

    @Override
    public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter)
            throws IOException {

        String line = value.toString();
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);

        while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
            value.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
            output.collect(value, new IntWritable(1));
        }

    }
}

public static class Reduce extends MapReduceBase implements
        Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {

    @Override
    public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values,
            OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter)
            throws IOException {
        int sum = 0;
        while (values.hasNext()) {
            sum += values.next().get();
        }

        output.collect(key, new IntWritable(sum));
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    BasicConfigurator.configure();
    JobConf conf = new JobConf(OSProject.class);
    conf.setJobName("wordcount");

    conf.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    conf.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

    conf.setMapperClass(Map.class);
    conf.setReducerClass(Reduce.class);

    conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
    conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);

    FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, new Path("c:/hwork/input"));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, new Path("c:/hwork/output"));

    //FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, new Path(args[0]));
    //FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, new Path(args[1]));

    JobClient.runJob(conf);

}
}

The problem is that the program throws this error when I run it:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.apache.hadoop.io.nativeio.NativeIO$Windows.createDirectoryWithMode0(Ljava/lang/String;I)V

at osproject.OSProject.main(OSProject.java:86)

The line that it errors on is:

JobClient.runJob(conf);

What it looks like is that it cannot create the output file for some reason. Any answer as to why this is happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

UnsatisfiedLinkError is thrown when some lib couldn't be found (or it was found but doesn't contain implementation of some function) and thus native method can't be found . In my opinion your app can't find proper lib.

Your problem is similar to this one: hadoop mapreduce: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.apache.hadoop.util.NativeCodeLoader.buildSupportsSnappy()Z

So I would suggest runnig your app with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to directory which contains hadoop.dll.
