Hello all, I am a Hadoop newbie:)I ld like to ask about the Hadoop's dependency on Linux. I have seen that Hadoop is usually deployed in Linux machines and Windows is supported only as a development platform through Cygwin. Which are the Linux's "functionalities", libraries, packages etc needed by Hadoop?
I can think of SSH, for the communication among nodes. Is it something that i am missing here?
Thank you, Thanos
