The problem in org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell class.
Method getGroupsForUserCommand return incorrect command if you run on Windows and it can't find winutils.exe.
public static String[] getGroupsForUserCommand(final String user) {
//'groups username' command return is non-consistent across different unixes
return (WINDOWS)? new String[] { WINUTILS, "groups", "-F", "\"" + user + "\""}
: new String [] {"bash", "-c", "id -gn " + user
+ "&& id -Gn " + user};}
This code will return string array with 4 elements and first element will be null.
To solve this problem set HADOOP_HOME env variable and in dir %HADOOP_HOME%/bin must be winutils.exe (download it here).
