I want to introduce a good post for window guys who want to work on Hadoop. Good news for Hadoop developers who want to use Microsoft Windows OS for their development activities. Finally Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 release officially supports for running Hadoop on Microsoft Windows as well. But the bin distribution of Apache Hadoop 2.2.0release does not contain some windows native components (like winutils.exe, hadoop.dll etc). This is detail: http://www.srccodes.com/p/article/38/build-install-configure-run-apache-hadoop-2.2.0-microsoft-windows-os#comment-1159454825 And this is my result ;)
