Answer 1

I think you should be careful about the version you use, because according to my experience, using difference version can cause difference problems.

Answer 2

I had this issue before and after trying to access the HDFS(in eclipse) and getting an error, I restarted my computer and hadoop.job.ugi showed in the advanced options when I tried again

Answer 3

Try spawning eclipse from Cygwin and it should work fine. It pulls out the information using "whoami" I suppose.

Answer 4

I would download the pre-built Windows binaries from here: http://www.barik.net/archive/2015/01/19/172716/

And then follow this official tutorial from Apache: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop2OnWindows

You can skip steps 2.3 - 2.6 because those are related to building Hadoop, which you won't need to do if you download the pre-built binaries.
