   can not be true - `trunk` requires JDK 17+ now
   
   Jenkins is not stable, so don't be surprised if it fails. The community 
recently spent effort moving the CI to GitHub Actions, and the Linux part 
should be mostly working. Since you might be the only committer who is 
proficient in both Hadoop native code and Windows, would you be interested in 
adding Windows coverage to the GitHub Actions CI?
   
   As for `winutils` and `libhadoop`: they date back to an era when Hadoop ran 
on a very old JDK that lacked many OS APIs Hadoop needs. Modern JDKs have 
changed the picture — they now provide much of that functionality, so migrating 
the native code to JDK-provided APIs would significantly reduce its maintenance 
burden. I'm currently exploring what that looks like for the Linux/Unix side. 
For the Windows portion, though — would you be interested in investigating the 
migration there?
