> Key: HBASE-16568
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16568
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Daniel Vimont
> Assignee: Daniel Vimont
> Priority: Minor
>
> Cygwin-oriented instructions in the official reference materials (for
> installing HBase in a Windows environment) seem to be out of date and
> incorrect; a number of unresolved/unresolvable requests for help have been
> posted to d...@hbase.org and u...@hbase.org mailing lists.
> Discussions on d...@apache.org and HBase Slack channel resulted in (1) no
> volunteers to update/maintain the Cygwin-oriented instructions, and (2)
> several "+" votes and no "-" votes on the suggestion of removing
> Cygwin-oriented instructions from the official reference materials.
> FUTURE POSSIBLE FOLLOW-UP: For the sake of setting up a
> development/testing/sandbox environment in Windows, it might be helpful to
> recommend the installation of a virtual machine environment (e.g. VirtualBox)
> in a Windows OS, followed by the installation of an appropriate flavor of
> Linux (e.g., Ubuntu) in the VM. After this, all the standard HBase
> installation/config/usage instructions can be followed.
