EAS : "Failed to create client directory to write error file" during data load

A common error message when loading data via EAS console i encountered today,

 "Failed to create client directory to write error file" 

Solution:

Make sure the Path specified under Error file is correct, it might be a glitch that picks a invalid path. 

Edit the path to valid directory and reload the data file, you are good to go.
