Thanks! > Remove Cygwin-oriented instructions (for installing HBase in Windows OS) from official reference materials > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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 > Attachments: HBASE-16568.patch > > > 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instructions in the official reference materials (for installing HBase in a Windows environment) seem to be out of date and incorrect; a number of unresolved/unresolvable requests for help have been posted to dev@hbase.org and user@hbase.org mailing lists. > Discussions on dev@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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
