Andras Salamon commented on OOZIE-1489: --------------------------------------- I removed a few obsolete Windows script in OOZIE-2836 and noone missed those. I think we don't need Windows. > 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 > Priority: Major > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
