Hi,
I recently started working with Accumulo as a data source to our internal data services subsystem. I found several references to running Hadoop on Windows
such that I could do unit testing with the Accumulo MiniAccumuloCluster. Ultimately we will be deploying to a Linux environment, but these may help getting someone setup to use Windows.
I built Hadoop 2.6.0.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for pointing that out. It can be difficult when writing documentation to separate out all of one's assumption. Here, we missed the baseline requirement that GeoMesa
be built on a Linux system. I'll add a line or two to the tutorial tomorrow.
While there is some support for Hadoop on Windows, I am unaware of support for Accumulo on Windows. Given that, it is unlikely we will be able to provide Windows support
for GeoMesa.
I happen to have Windows on my personal laptop, so I'd be happy if the GeoMesa build worked out of the box. Since it does not, I'd suggest using a Linux VM for the build.

[geomesa-users] Build error in GeoMesa after checking it out from source
I have already successfully installed Accumulo and verified that I could run it and create a table. I was also able to successfully check out the code
tree with git.
Unfortunately, "mvn clean install" failed while running the GeoMesa Avro SimpleFeature tests.
This is the failure message:
Running org.locationtech.geomesa.feature.serde.Version1BackwardsCompatTest
Tests run: 7, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.308 sec <<< FAILURE! - in org.locationtech.geomesa.feature.serde.Version1BackwardsCompatTest

I have attached the full log.
I am not sure what could have gone wrong; the "DOWNLOAD AND BUILD GEOMESA" section is literally a two-step process, and it failed on the second step.
And the failure message is somewhat mysterious, as the two strings of question marks are most certainly equal to one another.
