Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-11003:
-----------------------------------------
it's not actually failing, but logging @ error. Note that winutils is needed
not just server-side, but if you try to set file permissions or do symlinks in
the {{file://}} filesystem, so depending on what you want to do client-side it
will be needed.
What could be done is maybe lower the stack trace level to info, and at error
print a message that includes a wiki URL to discuss the topic,
> org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell should not take a dependency on binaries being
> deployed when used as a library
