-----------------------------------
Sorry I realized that too late. I am somewhat confused by restructuring of
Hadoop help desk.
> Please replace winutil.exe

> winutils.exe is an abomination and should be killed with an axe. We have
> encountered issues related to winutils.exe many times on many Hadoop distros.
> The most common one is being unable to find it. The second most common one
> is incorrect arguments being passed to winutils.exe by the calling program.
> Because it is an external program, the compiler offers no help in preventing
> errors in formatting arguments. A confounding problem is that the common log
> message complaining that winutils.exe was not found is often a red herring
> and leads to numerous blind-alley searches for issues that are not
> winutils-related.
