The following link from January states that Windows 7 (NOT Server) should work. Has anyone been successful with this and have any comments on the process?
https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop2OnWindows <https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop2OnWindows > >> Windows Vista and Windows 7 are also likely to work because of the Win32 >> API similarities with the respective server SKUs The present lack of support by HortonWorks for anything but Windows SERVER was a really ugly discovery for my team. We do not have any option to use that O/S per our (v large) company IT policies. So support for Windows 7 Pro would be a big help. -- View this message in context: http://hadoop.6.n7.nabble.com/Is-Building-on-Windows-7-Pro-NOT-Windows-Server-supported-in-some-way-tp72137.html Sent from the common-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
