I am new to Hadoop and have run into problems trying to run it on my Windows 7 machine. Particularly I am interested in running Hadoop 2.1.0 as its release notes mention that running on Windows is supported. I know that I can try to run 1.x versions on Windows with Cygwin or even use prepared VM by for example Cloudera, but these options are in some reasons less convenient for me.
Having examined a tarball from http://apache-mirror.rbc.ru/pub/apache/hadoop/common/hadoop-2.1.0-beta/ I found that there really are some *.cmd scripts that can be run without Cygwin. Everything worked fine when I formated HDFS partition but when I tried to run hdfs namenode daemon I faced two errors: first, non fatal, was that winutils.exe could not be found (it really wasn't present in the tarball downloaded). I found the sources of this component in the Apache Hadoop sources tree and compiled it with Microsoft SDK and MSbuild. Thanks to detailed error message it was clear where to put the executable to satisfy Hadoop. But the second error which is fatal doesn't contain enough information for me to solve:
Looks like something else should be compiled. I'm going to try to build Hadoop from the source with Maven but isn't there a simpler way? Isn't there some option-I-know-not-of that can disable native code and make that tarball usable on Windows?
- Windows binaries for Hadoop versions (built from the git commit ID used for the ASF relase) - steveloughran/winutils.
- Cloudera provides the world’s fastest, easiest, and most secure Hadoop platform. I think I am running into the same problem here.My servers ar eon RHEl but I am trying to connect to this cluster from a windows machine.Do we know.
- I don't have Windows environment, but one user who tried 2.2.0 release on Windows reported that released tar ball doesn't contain 'winutil.exe' and cannot run any commands. I confirmed that winutil.exe is not included in 2.2.0 bin tarball surely.
Thank you.
UPDATED. Yes, indeed. 'Homebrew' package contained some extra files, most importantly winutils.exe and hadoop.dll. With this files namenode and datanode started successfully. I think the question can be closed. I didn't delete it in case someone face the same difficulty.
UPDATED 2. To build the 'homebrew' package I did the following:
- Got sources, and unpacked them.
- Read carefully BUILDING.txt.
- Installed dependencies:
3a) Windows SDK 7.1
3b) Maven (I used 3.0.5)3c) JDK (I used 1.7.25)
3d) ProtocolBuffer (I used 2.5.0 - http://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protoc-2.5.0-win32.zip). It is enough just to put compiler (protoc.exe) into some of the PATH folders.
3e) A set of UNIX command line tools (I installed Cygwin) - Started command line of Windows SDK. Start | All programs | Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 | ... Command Prompt (I modified this shortcut, adding option /release in the command line to build release versions of native code). All the next steps are made from inside SDK command line window)
Set up the environment:
set JAVA_HOME={path_to_JDK_root}
It seems that JAVA_HOME MUST NOT contain space!
- Changed dir to sources root folder (BUILDING.txt warns that there are some limitations on the path length so sources root should have short name - I used D:hds)
Ran building process:
mvn package -Pdist -DskipTests
You can try without 'skipTests' but on my machine some tests failed and building was terminated. It may be connected to sybolic link issues mentioned in BUILDING .txt.8. Picked the result in hadoop-disttargethadoop-2.1.0-beta (windows executables and dlls are in 'bin' folder)

I have followed following steps to install Hadoop 2.2.0
Steps to build Hadoop bin distribution for Windows
Download and install Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1.
Download and install Unix command-line tool Cygwin.
Download and install Maven 3.1.1.
Download Protocol Buffers 2.5.0 and extract to a folder (say c:protobuf).
Add Environment Variables JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME and Platform if not added already. Note : Variable name Platform is case sensitive. And value will be either x64 or Win32 for building on a 64-bit or 32-bit system. Edit Path Variable to add bin directory of Cygwin (say C:cygwin64bin), bin directory of Maven (say C:mavenbin) and installation path of Protocol Buffers (say c:protobuf).
Download hadoop-2.2.0-src.tar.gz and extract to a folder having short path (say c:hdfs) to avoid runtime problem due to maximum path length limitation in Windows.
Select Start --> All Programs --> Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 and open Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt. Change directory to Hadoop source code folder (c:hdfs). Execute mvn package with options -Pdist,native-win -DskipTests -Dtar to create Windows binary tar distribution.
If everything goes well in the previous step, then native distribution hadoop-2.2.0.tar.gz will be created inside C:hdfshadoop-disttargethadoop-2.2.0 directory.
Install Hadoop
Extract hadoop-2.2.0.tar.gz to a folder (say c:hadoop).
Add Environment Variable HADOOP_HOME and edit Path Variable to add bin directory of HADOOP_HOME (say C:hadoopbin).
Configure Hadoop
C:hadoopetchadoopcore-site.xml
C:hadoopetchadoophdfs-site.xml
C:hadoopetchadoopmapred-site.xml
C:hadoopetchadoop yarn-site.xml
Format namenode
For the first time only, namenode needs to be formatted.
Start HDFS (Namenode and Datanode)
Start MapReduce aka YARN (Resource Manager and Node Manager)
Total four separate Command Prompt windows will be opened automatically to run Namenode, Datanode, Resource Manager, Node Manager

I had the same problem but with recent hadoop v. 2.2.0. Here are my steps for solving that problem:
I've built
winutils.exefrom sources. Project directory:hadoop-2.2.0-srchadoop-common-projecthadoop-commonsrcmainwinutilsMy OS: Windows 7. Tool for building: MS Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop (it's free and can be loaded from http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/).Open Studio,
File -> Open -> winutils.sln. Right click on solution on the right side ->Build.There were a couple errors in my case (you might need to fix project properties, specify output folder).Viola! You getwinutils.exe- put it into hadoop's bin.Next we need to build
hadoop.dll.Some woodoo magic here goes: openhadoop-2.2.0-srchadoop-common-projecthadoop-commonsrcmainnativenative.slnin MS VS; right click on solution -> build.I got a bunch of errors. I created manually several missed header files (don't ask me why they are missed in source tarball!):
(and don't ask me what this project on git is for! I don't know - google pointed it out by searching header file names)I've copied
hadoop-2.2.0-srchadoop-common-projecthadoop-commontargetwinutilsDebuglibwinutils.lib(result of step # 1) into
hadoop-2.2.0-srchadoop-common-projecthadoop-commontargetbinAnd finally build operation produces hadoop.dll!Put it again into hadoop's bin and happily run namenode!
Hope my steps will help somebody.
Han has prepared the Hadoop 2.2 Windows x64 binaries (see his blog) and uploaded them to Github.
After putting the two binaries winutils.exe and hadoop.dll into the %hadoop_prefix%bin folder, I got the same UnsatisfiedLinkError.
The problem was that some dependency of hadoop.dll was missing. I used Dependency Walker to check the dependencies of the binaries and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables were missing.
So besides building all the components yourself, the answer to the problem is
- make sure to use the same architecture for Java and the native code.
java -versiontells you if you use 32 or x64. - then use Dependency Walker to make sure all native binaries are pure and of the same architecture. Sometimes a x64 dependency is missing and Windows falls back to x86, which does not work. See answer of another question.
- also check if all dependencies of the native binaries are satisfied.
In addition to other solutions, here is a pre-built copy of winutil.exe. Donload it and add to $HADOOP_HOME/bin. It works for me.
(Source :Click here)
Please add hadoop.dll (version sensitive) to the system32 directory under Windows Directory.
You can get the hadoop.dll at winutils
Instead of using the official branch I would suggest the windows optimized
You need to compile it, build winutils.exe under windows and place it in the hadoop/bin directory
You might need to copy hadoop.dll and winutils.exe files from hadoop-common-bin to %HADOOP_HOME%binAdd %HADOOP_HOME%/bin to your %PATH% variable.

You can download hadoop-common from https://github.com/amihalik/hadoop-common-2.6.0-bin
I ran into same problem with Hadoop 2.4.1 on Windows 8.1; there were a few differences with the resulting solution caused mostly by the newer OS.
I first installed Hadoop 2.4.1 binary, unpacking it into %HADOOP_HOME%.
The previous answers describe how to set up Java, protobuf, cygwin, and maven, and the needed environment variables. I had to change my Platform environment variable from HP's odd 'BCD' value.
I downloaded the source from an Apache mirror, and unpacked it in a short directory (HADOOP_SRC = C:hsrc). Maven ran fine from a standard Windows command prompt in that directory: mvn package -DskipTests.
Instead of using the Windows 7 SDK (which I could not get to load) or the Windows 8.1 SDK (which doesn't have the command line build tools), I used the free Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop. Hadoop's build needed the MSBuild location (C:Program Files (x86)MSBuild12.0) in the PATH, and required that the various Hadoop native source projects be upgraded to the newer (MS VS 2013) format. The maven build failures were nice enough to point out the absolute path of each project as it failed, making it easy to load the project into Visual Studio (which automatically converts, after asking).
Once built, I copied the native executables and libraries into the Hadoop bin directory. They were built in %HADOOP_SRC%hadoop-common-projecthadoop-commontargetbin, and needed to be copied into %HADOOP_HOME%bin.
Adding hadoop.dll and hdfs.dll to the %HADOOP_HOME%bin folder did the trick for me.
Just installed Hadoop 2.2.0 in my environment win7 X64.
following BUILD.txt makes me did that.Note that:the dir in the hdfs-site.xml and mapred-site.xml is starts with / like below

May help u!
Download & Install Java in c:/java/
make sure the path is this way, if java is installed in 'program files', then hadoop-env.cmd will not recognize java path
Download Hadoop binary distribution.
I am using binary distribution Hadoop-2.8.1. Also I would recommend to keep extraction path as short as possible
Set Environment Variables:
Hadoop will work on windows if Hadoop-src is built using maven in your windows machine. Building the Hadoop-src(distribution) will create a Hadoop binary distribution, which will work as windows native version.
But if you don't want to do that, then download pre-builted winutils of Hadoop distribution.Here is a GitHub link, which has winutils of some versions of Hadoop.
if the version you are using is not in the list, the follow the conventional method for setting up Hadoop on windows - link
If you found your version, then copy paste all content of folder into path: /bin/
Set all the .xml configuration files - Link & set JAVA_HOME path in hadoop-env.cmd file
From cmd go to:
Hope this helps.
- Get Hadoop binaries (which include
winutils.exeandhadoop.dll) Make sure hadoopbin is available via PATH (System PATH if you run it as a Service)
Note that setting
java.library.pathoverridesPATH. If you setjava.library.path, make sure it is correct and points to the hadoop library.

I am getting the following error while starting namenode for latest hadoop-2.2 release. I didn't find winutils exe file in hadoop bin folder. I tried below commands

Simple Solution:Download it from here and add to $HADOOP_HOME/bin
(Source)
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
For hadoop-2.6.0 you can download binaries from Titus Barik blog >>.
I have not only needed to point HADOOP_HOME to extracted directory [path], but also provide system property -Djava.library.path=[path]bin to load native libs (dll).
If we directly take the binary distribution of Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 release and try to run it on Microsoft Windows, then we'll encounter ERROR util.Shell: Failed to locate the winutils binary in the hadoop binary path.
The binary distribution of Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 release does not contain some windows native components (like winutils.exe, hadoop.dll etc). These are required (not optional) to run Hadoop on Windows.
So you need to build windows native binary distribution of hadoop from source codes following 'BUILD.txt' file located inside the source distribution of hadoop. You can follow the following posts as well for step by step guide with screen shot
If you face this problem when running a self-contained local application with Spark (i.e., after adding spark-assembly-x.x.x-hadoopx.x.x.jar or the Maven dependency to the project), a simpler solution would be to put winutils.exe (download from here) in 'C:winutilbin'. Then you can add winutils.exe to the hadoop home directory by adding the following line to the code:
Source: Click here
The statementjava.io.IOException: Could not locate executable nullbinwinutils.exe
explains that the null is received when expanding or replacing an Environment Variable. If you see the Source in Shell.Java in Common Package you will find that HADOOP_HOME variable is not getting set and you are receiving null in place of that and hence the error.
So, HADOOP_HOME needs to be set for this properly or the variable hadoop.home.dir property.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,Kamleshwar.
I just ran into this issue while working with Eclipse. In my case, I had the correct Hadoop version downloaded (hadoop-2.5.0-cdh5.3.0.tgz), I extracted the contents and placed it directly in my C drive. Then I went to
Eclipse->Debug/Run Configurations -> Environment (tab) -> and added
variable: HADOOP_HOME
Value: C:hadoop-2.5.0-cdh5.3.0
You can download winutils.exe here: http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/hdp-win-alpha/winutils.exe
Then copy it to your HADOOP_HOME/bin directory.
Winutils.exe is used for running the shell commands for SPARK. When you need to run the Spark without installing Hadoop, you need this file.
Steps are as follows:
Download the winutils.exe from following location for hadoop 2.7.1https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils/tree/master/hadoop-2.7.1/bin[NOTE: If you are using separate hadoop version then please download the winutils from corresponding hadoop version folder on GITHUB from the location as mentioned above.]
Now, create a folder 'winutils' in C: drive. Now create a folder 'bin' inside folder 'winutils' and copy the winutils.exe in that folder. So the location of winutils.exe will be C:winutilsbinwinutils.exe
Now, open environment variable and set HADOOP_HOME=C:winutil[NOTE: Please do not addbin in HADOOP_HOME and no need to set HADOOP_HOME in Path]
Your issue must be resolved !!
winutils.exe are required for hadoop to perform hadoop related commands. please download hadoop-common-2.2.0 zip file. winutils.exe can be found in bin folder. Extract the zip file and copy it in the local hadoop/bin folder.
I was facing the same problem. Removing the bin from the HADOOP_HOME path solved it for me. The path for HADOOP_HOME variable should look something like.
System restart may be needed. In my case, restarting the IDE was sufficient.
Set up HADOOP_HOME variable in windows to resolve the problem.
You can find answer in org/apache/hadoop/hadoop-common/2.2.0/hadoop-common-2.2.0-sources.jar!/org/apache/hadoop/util/Shell.java :
IOException from
HADOOP_HOME_DIR from
- Download [winutils.exe]
From URL :
https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils/hadoop-version/bin - Past it under HADOOP_HOME/bin
Note : You should Set environmental variables:
User variable:
Variable: HADOOP_HOME
Value: Hadoop or spark dir
In Pyspark, to run local spark application using Pycharm use below lines
I was getting the same issue in windows. I fixed it by
- Downloading hadoop-common-2.2.0-bin-master from link.
- Create a user variable HADOOP_HOME in Environment variable and assign the path of hadoop-common bin directory as a value.
- You can verify it by running hadoop in cmd.
- Restart the IDE and Run it.
Download desired version of hadoop folder (Say if you are installing spark on Windows then hadoop version for which your spark is built for) from this link as zip.
Extract the zip to desired directory.You need to have directory of the form hadoopbin (explicitly create such hadoopbin directory structure if you want) with bin containing all the files contained in bin folder of the downloaded hadoop. This will contain many files such as hdfs.dll, hadoop.dll etc. in addition to winutil.exe.
Now create environment variableHADOOP_HOME and set it to <path-to-hadoop-folder>hadoop. Then add;%HADOOP_HOME%bin; to PATH environment variable.
Open a 'new command prompt' and try rerunning your command.

I used 'hbase-1.3.0' and 'hadoop-2.7.3' versions. Setting HADOOP_HOME environment variable and copying 'winutils.exe' file under HADOOP_HOME/bin folder solves the problem on a windows os.Attention to set HADOOP_HOME environment to the installation folder of hadoop(/bin folder is not necessary for these versions).Additionally I preferred using cross platform tool cygwin to settle linux os functionality (as possible as it can) because Hbase team recommend linux/unix env.
