----------------------------------
Summary: Download Storm release link in 1.0.x and 1.1.1 points to
github(source code) rather than the storm.apache.org link.
Key: STORM-2949
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2949
Project: Apache Storm
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 1.0.5, 1.1.1
Reporter: Seema Joshi
Fix For: 1.0.5, 1.1.1
I am following the documentation to [Setup a Storm cluster for
1.0.5|http://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html]
and I have some comments/ errors to point out.
- The documentation only exists for 1.0.4. Replacing 1.0.4 in the url with
1.0.5 gives a 404 error.
- The section to [Download and extract a Storm release to Nimbus and worker
machines|http://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html#download-and-extract-a-storm-release-to-nimbus-and-worker-machineshttp://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html%23install-dependencies-on-nimbus-and-worker-machines]
provides a link to download Storm releases from GitHub.
* The tar.gz download from
[github|https://github.com/apache/storm/releases/tag/v1.0.5] is 8.5MB and is
labeled as "*Source code* (tar.gz)". This is confusing for a release download.
* Trying to run nimbus from the extracted folder gives the following error,
which is consistent with the above labeling.
* [vagrant@node1 storm-1.0.6]$ bin/storm nimbus
******************************************
The storm client can only be run from within a release. You appear to be trying
to run the client from a checkout of Storm's source code.
You can download a Storm release at [http://storm.apache.org/downloads.html]
******************************************
This link is incorrect in documentation for v1.0.x and v1.1.x.
My understanding is the documentation is pointing to the wrong link. This link
should be updated to point to the
[releases|http://storm.apache.org/downloads.html] from
[http://storm.apache.org/] as mentioned in the error message. I was able to
setup the storm cluster using this download path.
