Steve Loughran created HADOOP-10775: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Shell operations could fail with meaningful errors on windows if winutils.exe not found Key: HADOOP-10775 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10775 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: util Affects Versions: trunk-win Environment: Apache jenkins windows1 server Reporter: Steve Loughran Priority: Minor If {{winutils.exe}} can't be found {{HADOOP_HOME}} wrong/unset or other causes, then an error is logged -but when any of the {{Shell}} operations are used, an NPE is raised rather than something meaningful. The error message at setup time should be preserved and then raised before any attempt to invoke a winutils-driven process made -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
