Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-9422:
---------------------------------------
The requirement as far as I can tell, was that windows support needs to find a
native library winutils, and it looks under hadoop home. +1 on making it a soft
dependency on non-windows playforms, and in a further issue change the winutils
to be under hadoop native lib dir.
> HADOOP_HOME should not be required to be set to be able to launch commands
> using hadoop.util.Shell

> deployment is done using multiple tar-balls ( one each for
> common/hdfs/mapreduce/yarn ).
