Running Hadoop framework on Windows is always a pain using Cygwin. Is the process similar for Windows 8 just like Windows 7 as mentioned here or is it different ?

There's no reason why it would be different - windows 8 has the same APIs as windows7 (and certainly not cygwin/posix emulation), with the addition of the windows modern related things. There do seem to be options for running hadoop without cygwin, though looking around, the most painless option might be to run hadoop on a linux vm.

You could always run a VM locally. I'd think colinux would be perfect for this, but I have no idea if it works on modern windows.– Journeyman Geek ♦Oct 20, 2012 at 5:09
