It is more than just getting away from shell script usage. Hadoop invokes the BASH shell internally to run commands like DF, DU, etc to perform operating system functions. CYGWIN is not intended as a production platform and its BASH shell doesn't always work which becomes a problem for Hadoop.

It would be much nice if Hadoop gets away from the shell scripts though appropriate ant scripts or with java Admin Console kind of model. Then it becomes lighter for development. Are there any known plans or am I missing some thing..:) Regards, Raja Nagendra Kumar, C.T.O www.tejasoft.com -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Hadoop-on-windows-with-bat-and-ant-scripts-tp31815353p31815353.html Sent from the Hadoop core-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
