Hi devs, I'm experimenting current 1.x-branch on Windows 8 / Oracle Java 1.8.0_73 and there seems be some issues regarding BlobStore which makes *supervisor not functioning*. (I believe this relates to failures of BlobStore UT on Windows.)
I fixed one issue regarding moving non-empty directory (will submit PR) and went ahead, but met symbolic link issue immediately. Try some googling, but unfortunately making symlink seems to be complicated in Windows. - If account's group is administrator, account should make symlink with running as Administrator. - I ran supervisor by account which group is administrator, and it throws FileSystemException: A required privilege is not held by the client. - It runs fine when I run supervisor from *elevated command prompt*. - If account's group is not administrator, user should add that account to the list of accounts/groups of "Create symbolic links". Details: http://superuser.com/a/105381 I just feel both of two options seems not ideal. According to options, users should do something to make Storm run well with Windows. What would be better way to handle symbolic link? We can remove creating symlink if not mandatory, but I'm curious it's convenient for *Nix users. Please share your opinions. Thanks!
