If you are getting "Exception from container-launch:org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell$ExitCodeException" in FAILED application's Diagnostics (or Command prompt) and "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/service/CompositeService" in 'stderr' containerlogs while running any Hadoop example on Windows, then add all the required Hadoop jars to the property 'yarn.application.classpath' in yarn-site.xml configuration file.

解决方案:  在yarn-site.xml里添加如下配置项

<property>
     <name>yarn.application.classpath</name>
     <value>
         $HADOOP_CONF_DIR,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/common/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/lib/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/yarn/*,
         $HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/share/hadoop/yarn/lib/*
        <!--/app/hadoop/hadoop220-->
    </value>
  </property>
