Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-16424: ------------------------------------- Yeah, I follow. Looking at that documentation in particular, it looks like our Cygwin tutorials haven't gotten much love in over 6 years, so I'm just suggesting you'll have better luck on the user mailing list than on JIRA, which is frequented by developers fixing bugs and adding features. If you (or someone else) would be interested in sorting it out and updating the docs, please feel free to reopen this issue and submit a patch. > I get this error when I try to run hbase in standalone mode > ./bin/start-hbase.sh > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16424 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16424 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Windows + Cygwin, Ubuntu > Reporter: Cheyenne > > cygpath: can't convert empty path > cygpath: can't convert empty path > 2016-08-16 13:25:30,999 ERROR [main] util.Shell: Failed to locate the > winutils binary in the hadoop binary path > java.io.IOException: Could not locate executable null\bin\winutils.exe in the > Hadoop binaries. > at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.getQualifiedBinPath(Shell.java:355) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.getWinUtilsPath(Shell.java:370) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.<clinit>(Shell.java:363) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils.<clinit>(StringUtils.java:78) > at > org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getStrings(Configuration.java:1699) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKConfig.makeZKPropsFromHbaseConfig(ZKConfig.java:151) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKConfig.makeZKProps(ZKConfig.java:67) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKServerTool.readZKNodes(ZKServerTool.java:47) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKServerTool.main(ZKServerTool.java:70) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
