title: Mapreduce error: Failed to setup local dir
body: <p>I'm running mapreduce wordcount example on hadoop installed on windows 8. I got the error as below. It sounds like a security permission issue. But I'm not very sure. 
  I added a property to yarn-site.xml file as</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;property&gt;
          &lt;name&gt;yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs&lt;/name&gt;
          &lt;value&gt;c:\hadoop\tmp-nm&lt;/value&gt;
  &lt;/property&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea would be very helpful!</p>
