Thanks Dan! Looks like it is a little bit harder to setup HBase on Windows with Cygwin. Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Looks like I still need to setup HBase with Cygwin. Could you please share the problems you met?

However, I DO use a Windows box to do all of my HBase-contributor work on (and I do it in the way that Mike has already recommended to you): I do that by running VirtualBox with an instance of Ubuntu running inside of it, and then just do straightforward installation of HBase in that virtual Ubuntu environment. If you must use a Windows box (or multiple Windows workstations), you might want to consider a setup similar to this to avoid what I would anticipate to be a mountain of frustrations. Good luck!
