Problem

Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt 
[ERROR] C:\hdfs\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-auth\src\test\java\org\apache\hadoop\security\authentication\client\AuthenticatorTestCase.java:[88,11] error: cannot access AbstractLifeCycle

Note : This issue exists in Mac, Windows and Linux OS. If "jetty-util" jar is already there in local Maven repository / cache then you may not encounter this issue.

 

Why?

Maven dependency jetty-util is missing in "<hadoop-src>hadoop-common-project/hadoop-auth/pom.xml" of Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 source distribution, used for Maven build. This issue is already reported in JIRA - HADOOP-10110.

 

Solution

Apply HADOOP-10110.patch or open "<hadoop-src>hadoop-common-project/hadoop-auth/pom.xml" and manually add the following maven dependency.

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
	<artifactId>jetty-util</artifactId>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
