The requirements are to have the Hadoop windows utils package installed. I wrote a small power shell script to do this at https://gist.github.com/shivaram/bd5d17c31ce9d89035559fa956f59fc1 . The script sets $HADOOP_HOME and adds $HADOOP_HOME/bin to $PATH. More details about what is getting installed is at https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils On a related note: Would anybody happen to know what the value of JAVA_HOME is set to on the winbuilder machine ?
