-------------------------------------------
Ha. I've actually been working on getting a test setup for cygwin for another
Apache project so this is rather timely. :) I'll take a look!

> The Windows compatibility work removed the dependency on Cygwin as a
> compatibility layer. However, some users may still wish to run Cygwin on a
> personal machine for running Hadoop commands that interact with a cluster.
> This issue proposes to reinstate support for launching Hadoop processes on
> Windows using Cygwin to call the bash scripts.
