Description

Did Following on starting Shell

1. ssh localhost
2. cd /cygdrive/e/hadoop-2.2.0
3. export JAVA_HOME=/cygdrive/e/JDK
4. export HADOOP_INSTALL=/cygdrive/e/hadoop-2.2.o
5. export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME:$HADOOP_INSTALL/bin:$HADOOP_INSTALL/sbin

I have installed JDK1.7.0_51

At $hadoop version (throws) Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.hadoop.util.Versioninfo

Similar errors are thrown for fs and jar. I have not made any changes to any environment variables or scripts.

I am new to Hadoop-2.2.0 and following text Hadoop- The Definitive Guide by Tom white where it has been suggested that Cygwin can be used with Windows and Hadoop 2.

Advise appreciated. Thanks

Anand
