Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-1489:
--------------------------------------
[~dwann], are there any more subtasks you need to add? If not, I think we can
close this now that OOZIE-1552 is done.
> Support building and running Oozie on Windows
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OOZIE-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1489
> Project: Oozie
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build, core, examples, scripts, tests
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: David Wannemacher
> Assignee: David Wannemacher
>
> There are several issues that prevent Oozie from working on Windows natively
> (without Cygwin):
> # Unix OS is enforced in the build.
> # Platform-specific assumptions for file path formats. For example, assuming
> that forward slash is a valid path separator.
> # Workarounds required for windows-specific issues. For example, environment
> variables referring to file paths are enclosed in double quotes, which need
> to be removed prior to using them.
> # Unit tests make many platform-specific assumptions that break on windows.
> # .sh scripts need to be ported to .cmd/.ps1.
> Microsoft and Hortonworks have addressed these issues in a series of patches,
> which will now be ported to Apache Oozie trunk and submitted to the community
> for review. These patches will be attached in subtasks of this top-level Jira.
> I will also document the assumptions and steps that are needed to build on
> Windows. One such assumption is that running unit tests require hadoop core
> built from branch-1-win.
