----------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
