If you install the hadoop in windows, after the installation, you will confront this problem: you can not set the evironment valuable.
This file won’t work: c:\deploy\etc\hadoop\hadoop-env.cmd
If you do this step: “%HADOOP_PREFIX%\sbin\start-dfs.cmd”
Then you will see a error message about JAVA_HOME not found. This is very strange for you, because you are sure, you have already done the JAVA_HOME Setting.
The reason for that is a very old problem from microsoft in the time win95, they can not deal with the folder with lang names, so if you want to tell the system about the your JAVA_HOME path with a blank, you have to do: “c:\Progra~1\Java\…” instead of “c:\Program Files\Java\….”. This is windows 8.3 Pathname
So the solution is:
open file: c:\deploy\etc\hadoop\hadoop-env.cmd
change JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME% to JAVA_HOME=”C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_45″
