Thanks Harsh.
I figured out the issue. Added following environment variables :
======================================
export HADOOP_DEV_HOME=`pwd`
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}
export YARN_HOME=${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}/conf/
export YARN_CONF_DIR=~${HADOOP_DEV_HOME}/conf/
Then the format is working.

What is your dfs.namenode.name.dir configured to, in hdfs-site.xml?
