Hi,
I think it is fine, since we are not sure what %CLASSPATH% would be originally, if we depend on some unknown external dependencies, things may get uncontrollable.

It is resulted by limitation of the maximum length of the string that can be used at the command line: "On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters. On computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 2047 characters. This limitation applies to the command line, individual environment variables (such as the PATH variable) that are inherited by other processes, and all environment variable expansions. If you use Command Prompt to run batch files, this limitation also applies to batch file processing.” [1] With the suggestion of @Jialin Qiao, I reduced the dependency (from hadoop-client to hadoop-common), and local tests are all passed. However, the tests on Travis CI still failed. Thanks to @Tian Jiang, I changed the set CLASSPATH statement in .bat file of starting client: Previous: ``` for %%i in ("%IOTDB_CLI_HOME%\lib\*.jar") do call :append "%%i" goto okClasspath :append set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%1 goto :eof ``` And now: ``` set CLASSPATH=%IOTDB_CLI_HOME%\lib\* ``` This avoid too long input line of CLASSPATH, which resolves the problem. The error confused me for really a long time... And I think maybe this solution will help you in the future.
