             Summary: Replicated log's dependency on leveldb prevents it from 
being used on Windows
                 Key: MESOS-5932
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5932
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: master
            Reporter: Alex Clemmer
            Assignee: Alex Clemmer


The replicated log (in src/log/) depends on leveldb to store and persist data 
in the replicas.

This dependency is well-contained within replica.cpp, but until it is 
abstracted out, it nonetheless prevents the master from being built on Windows, 
which in turn prevents the agent tests from being built and run on Windows.

Preliminary investigation shows that we will probably want to split this work 
into 2 parts:

* Temporarily remove the ability of the master to use the replicated log on 
Windows (in master/main.cpp). This should involve 1 conditional where we 
instantiate a `Log::Log`. This should be enough for us to light up the agent 
tests.
* Add leveldb Windows support to Mesos. This involves: adding CMake files to 
build leveldb source, and adding Windows-specific `port_*` files that will map 
the platform-specific constructs of leveldb to Windows. We can take hints from 
leveldown and other projects, which add their own `port_*` files that suit 
their purposes (namely, running leveldb, in node, on Windows). NOTE: the 
leveldb community explicitly calls out in its documentation that it is not 
interested in non-POSIX changes, so it is likely that this will never be 
inducted into the mainline leveldb codebase.
