Running MapReduce word count on Hadoop gives Exception message: The system cannot find the path specified

Question

this is my first Stack Overflow question ever. I've setup my hadoop (2.9.2) single node cluster in pseudo distributed mode. When i try to run hadoop jar C:/MapReduceClient.jar wordcount /input_dir /output_dir, i get the following log with error

The same setup with the same .jar is working on my other pc and the output is correct. Windows 10 Pro x64 (both) Only difference is that the working one has java 1.8.0_171 installed

JAVA_HOME= C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_201 HADOOP_HOME= C:\hadoop-2.9.2

PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\hadoop-2.9.2\bin

Solved. It was the default user name being non latin characters messing the node manager up. Checked with a whoami command only to find out that the default user name was "???????"
