Petr Janeček commented on STORM-2038: ------------------------------------- I built the {{STORM-2038-local-mode-v1.0.3}} branch locally, installed it, and ran our test suite against it in Local Mode - all works great without any Administrator privileges. Great, thank you. Where will this land eventually, 1.1.0, 2.0.0? > Provide an alternative to using symlinks > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: STORM-2038 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2038 > Project: Apache Storm > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: storm-core > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Environment: Any windows > Reporter: Paul Milliken > Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans > Labels: symlink, windows > Time Spent: 40m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > As of Storm 1.0 and above, some functionality (such as the worker-artifacts > directory) require the use of symlinks. On Windows platforms, this requires > that Storm either be run as an administrator or that certain group policy > settings are changed. > In locked-down environments, both of these solutions are not suitable. > Where possible, an alternative option should be provided to the use of > symlinks. For example, it may be possible to create additional copies of the > worker artifacts directory for each worker (possibly inefficient) or provide > the workers with the canonical path to the real directory. > See the [brief > discussion|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/storm-dev/201608.mbox/%3C1293850887.13165119.1471022901569.JavaMail.yahoo%40mail.yahoo.com%3E] > on the mailing list. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
