HADOOP-5114. The problem seems to be in ConnectException. The rest is just how it is revealed by different servers/clients.
If this is indeed just a single bug that's causing 30 tests to fail, I'm not sure it's yet time to abandon Windows compatibility. It would surely be nice to, but I suspect there are large numbers of folks who use Hadoop on Windows but who are not well represented among Hadoop developers (i.e., who regularly use trunk) and who would be dismayed if we stopped supporting Windows.
If we really want to pursue this, we should perhaps first conduct a poll on core-users.
