See HADOOP-9082 for more of the background discussion on the topic of
cross-platform build scripts.
> revert Python build scripts from branch-trunk-win
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9271
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9271
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: trunk-win
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
>
> On branch-trunk-win, some work was committed to convert custom build
> scripting to Python as a cross-platform solution to support builds on both
> Linux and Windows. The community has since rejected this solution. This
> issue tracks removal of the Python build code from branch-trunk-win.
> This will restore branch-trunk-win to the same state as trunk, which uses
> shell for custom build scripting. This means that developers working on
> branch-trunk-win will once again need sh.exe on the PATH to build the
> distribution. This will be a temporary state. A subsequent jira will add
> build scripts specific to Windows, using a language more common in a Windows
> development environment. The community has approved minimal use of multiple
> platform-specific scripting languages.
