Hello, Smriti. This is saying that the Maven build failed in the compile-ms-winutils step. This step is an external call to msbuild to compile and link the native code required for Hadoop to run correctly on Windows. It doesn't say exactly why it failed (other than exit code 1), so you'll have to troubleshoot this part a bit further. Is msbuild on your PATH? Do you see any additional log output related to failures in msbuild?
If you haven't already done so, then I also recommend reading through the BUILDING.txt file in the root of the Hadoop source tree. It has a section describing all of the requirements for building on Windows.
