Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-3839. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix With Microsoft's help, Hadoop now uses batch files on Windows. Won't fix! > hadoop should handle no cygwin on windows more gracefully > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3839 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3839 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Windows XP, cygwin not installed > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Priority: Minor > > There have been a couple of postings to hadoop core-user in which people > can't get hdfs to come up on windows because whoami isnt on the path, which > fails with an IOException error code 2. > To people not experienced in DOS error codes, this is a fairly meanless > number which invariably leads to time wasted and support emails. > 1. the error could be caught and handled by printing some better hints (point > to a wiki page?) > 2. is whoami really needed on DOS-based filesystems? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
