> 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
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.0.4
>
> Time Spent: 2h 50m
> 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
