I have configured cygwin with Windows 7 64bit and trying to run hadoop on
it.

Was successful to run namenode, datanode, secondarynamenode and jobtracker,
but facing problem with tasktracker.
Here is the log -

I'd recommend picking up branch-trunk-win; (a call for vote for merge into trunk is going to happen soon after the work is complete and precommit built is clean; then these changes will be in trunk (!) ).  

This removes the Cygwin dependency for running Hadoop on Windows. This work is being done under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8562

It includes
1. Necessary changes in Hadoop to run natively on Windows. These changes handle differences in platforms related to path names, process/task management etc.
2. Addition of winutils tools for managing file permissions and ownership, user group mapping, hardlinks, symbolic links, chmod, disk utilization, and process/task management.
3. Added cmd scripts equivalent to existing shell scripts hadoop-daemon.sh, start and stop scripts.
4. Addition of block placement policy implementation to support cloud environment, more specifically Azure.
