Answer 1

You can see from the last few lines of the error that the java program you are running cannot access the folder /app/hadoop/...........

The Solution is to change ownership for the folder /app/hadoop like this:

chown USER_NAME /app/hadoop

Replace "USER_NAME" with your user name. It Works fine!
