I am receiving a warning which says Failed to locate the winutils binary in the Hadoop binary path

0 votes

My system is throwing the following error while I tried to start the Name-node for my latest Hadoop-2.2 Version. My system did not find winutils.exe file in my Hadoop bin folder. I tried below codes to fix the issue but it hardly worked. Help me out to sort this out.

$ bin/hdfs namenode -format
$ sbin/yarn-daemon.sh start resourcemanager

#ERROR [main] util.Shell (Shell.java:getWinUtilsPath(303)) - Failed to locate the winutils binary in the #hadoop binary path
#java.io.IOException: Could not locate executable null\bin\winutils.exe in the Hadoop binaries.

I see that you are facing multiple issues on this one, I wish to help you from scratch.

Download winutils.exe from the following link. This particular link will redirect you to GitHub and your winutils.exe must download from this.

Once your WinUtils.exe is downloaded, try to set your Hadoop Home by editing your Hadoop environmental variables.

You can get the sources from this following link.

You can download Hadoop Binaries from this following link.

Pointing Hadoop Directory #HADOOP_HOME from the external storage alone will not help. You also need to provide System Properties -Djava.library.path=[path]\bin to load the native libraries (DLL).

I hope this must fix your issue. Have a glad day.
