Error
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.InvalidInputException: Input path does not exist: hdfs://localhost:9000/user/root/in
says that the destination location /user/root/in is not prsrent in your HDFS. You can brows your file system using simple web UI.
http://localhost:50070/
then click on Utilities drop down -> Brows the file System. and check your foledr hirerchy i.e. /user/root/in
if it does not exist you can create folder using command
hadoop dfs -mkdir hdfs://localhost:9000/user/root/in
now try to execute your copy command
hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /local/path/of/source/file hdfs://localhost:9000/user/root/in
hope this will help you :)
