Max Michels created FLINK-1406: ---------------------------------- Summary: Windows compatibility Key: FLINK-1406 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1406 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Max Michels Priority: Minor
The documentation [1] states: "Flink runs on all UNIX-like environments: Linux, Mac OS X, Cygwin. The only requirement is to have a working Java 6.x (or higher) installation." I just found out Flink runs also natively on Windows. Do we want to support Windows? If so, we should update the documentation. Clearly, we don't support it at the moment for development. At multiple places, the tests contain references to "/tmp" or "/dev/random/" which are not Windows compatible. Probably it's enough to update the documentation stating that Flink runs on Windows but cannot be build or developed on Windows without Cygwin.
