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