Bob,
One other thing. The Vapp I built had hadoop in it, but it also
contained Accumulo (and Hmap, zookeeper, etc). To get everything
working inside of 6 gigs, I needed to do a lot of tweaking that brought
many of the applications below thier suggested minimum ram requirements.
The key was to make sure that xms + MaxPerSize of all the technologies
together did not exceed 5 gigs (i left one gig for CentOS, although you
should be fine with 512megs). It is absolutely imperative that you have
both of those settings set for each application, or you could run out of
memory as the various applications begin to consume more ram than you
originally allocated. Unless you're doing something other than
prototyping something simple or just demoing the technologies, you
should be fine using less ram.

Bob,
I tried to do the same thing last October. Accumulo itself isn't the
problem when it comes to getting it to work on Windows. The problem is
all the other applications that Accumulo relies on to work. For
example, I was unable to find a good port of hadoop, or hmap. All of
these applications were written with a target of linux/mac. So, I
eventually abandoned the idea.
Instead, I downloaded the free VMWare VMPlayer, installed Cent-OS into
it and just deployed the entire suite of products Hadoop uses into
that. (This process is called building a virtual appliance.) My
laptop was a very inexpensive one (RIP), all I did was upgrade the ram
to 8 gigs, reserving 6 Gigs for VMWare and my virtual appliance. All
of the components I list above are open-source. The only sticky thing
was that Oracles JDK license doesn't allow you to package it into a
Virtual appliance that your'e going to distribute. So, as long as
you're not going to sell the pre-configured VApp, you should be fine
using the Oracle JDK.
Hope that help!

I downloaded the trunk on my Windows 7 machine and imported it into
IntelliJ with complete success. The maven targets were all available
but when I tried to build the build scripts failed trying to build the
user's manual.
I have all the components to run the scripts and the PDF builder, but
the evaluation in the build script fail (obviously because they were
built for a Unix shell).
Is the ability to build this in a Windows environment something anyone
has accomplished? Is it desired?
