Java unit test fails to start Kudu test mini cluster on Ubuntu - Unable to start Master at index 0

I've been chasing the root cause of this error for a while with no success.

I'm trying to run a Java unit test that leverages Kudu mini test cluster but sometimes it fails to start the kudu environment on Ubuntu 18.04.

Following there are some scenarios:

• The test runs on my Mac with no issues.
• The test runs fine on Ubuntu in a VMware Fusion environment.

But it fails on:

• Ubuntu running in VirtualBox on Windows host OS
• Fails running in Windows 10 WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) using Ubuntu image

Here the stack trace I get when running the test:

java.io.IOException: failed to start masters: Unable to start Master at index 0: /tmp/kudu-binary-jar3746539546985598047/kudu-binary-1.10.0-linux-x86_64/bin/kudu-master: process exited on signal 6

Can someone provide some pointers?

Cheers!

Following some configuration:

• JDK = 1.8
• kudu.version = 1.10.0
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Windows 10 Pro
• WSL 2
