Pardon me I am new to ElasticSearch and hadoop.  
I am trying to build [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop: Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop) this repo locally . I did `gradle distZip` as mentioned in the instructions.  
But I am facing the following error after running the command :

```

Can someone give me the exact build instructions
