Hello Abhishek, You can build libhdfs from source by running mvn with the "native" profile activated, as described in BUILDING.txt here:
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/BUILDING.txt#L187-189 Pasting the content here for convenience: Create binary distribution with native code and with documentation: $ mvn package -Pdist,native,docs -DskipTests -Dtar See the top of BUILDING.txt for a full list of the build pre-requisites that must be installed on your machine. Additional usage information on libhdfs is available here: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/LibHd fs.html Even though you're using Hadoop 2.3, I recommend looking at the current version of the docs as shown in the hyperlink, not the 2.3.0 docs. There were several documentation fixes after 2.3.0, and those documentation fixes are still relevant to the older version. The only difference to keep in mind when reading the documentation is that libhdfs was not supported on Windows until version 2.6.0.
