Have you looked at HDP for Windows? http://hortonworks.com/download/ It is a 1.1-based distro and is designed for easier Windows install. I haven't used it myself. john

Since I would like to develop and debug and test on my windows (eclipse) and deploy to linux. And also I would like to use a version which has the document, javadoc and examples, not too obsoleted versions. I have tried 1.0.4: The problems I found, I am not able to set it up running in eclipse easily. http://sourceforge.net/p/win-hadoop/wiki/Hadoop-on-Cygwin/ it looks it takes lots of effort, even rebuilding Hadoop. (this tutorial is for 1.0.1, but it looks similar to 1.0.4) I have tried 0.22.0 I can set it up on windows, and run via eclipse, but looks it is very obsoleted, I can't find the documentation and javadoc (it is hard). And even for eclipse, I need to use the old 3.x.x version. So I am quite puzzled now. Please help. Cheng Yi
