Summary: Make Shell probe for winutils.exe more rigorous Key: HADOOP-11061 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11061 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: native Affects Versions: 2.5.0 Environment: windows Reporter: Steve Loughran Priority: Minor The probe for winutils.exe being valid is simple: it looks for the file existing. It could be stricter and catch some (unlikely but possible) failure modes: # winutils.exe being a directory # winutils.exe being a 0-byte file # winutils.exe not being readable # winutils.exe not having the magic "MZ" header These tests could all be combined simply by opening the file and validating the header ... all the conditions above would be detected -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
