Otis, Your mileage on trying to run the current release on windows will depend upon what components you are trying to run and what features you use. Off the top of my head... the available patches address several things spanning from a windows startup script, version info printing, some fie channel patches to disable dual checkpointing, to fixes in tests. You may not care about test related fixes. Morphline and kite sinks will most likely not work since Kite is not supported on Windows AFAIK.
Here is a list of windows patches https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20FLUME%20AND%20status%20%3D%20%22Patch%20Available%22%20AND%20text%20~%20%22windows%22%20AND%20assignee%20in%20(roshan_naik) -roshan On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 9:32 AM, Paul Chavez <[email protected]> wrote: > We’ve been running the 1.4 release of flume on windows for over a year. > We had to do a custom build at first before it was initially released to > pick up a SpoolDir source issue. > > > > I use winsw (https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/wiki) to wrap the java > command, with 64-bit JDK6. > > > > The java command line switches that runs the agent are: > > > > -Xms1500m -Xmx4000m -Dflume.monitoring.type=HTTP > -Dflume.monitoring.port=41414 > -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///C:\Services\Flume\flume-ng\conf\log4j.properties > -cp "C:\Services\Flume\flume-ng\lib\*" org.apache.flume.node.Application -f > C:\Services\Flume\flume_appserver.conf -n appserver > > > > > > > > *From:* Otis Gospodnetic [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Thursday, September 11, 2014 9:19 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: flume on windows ? > > > > Hi Roshan, > > > > I haven't tried Flume on Windows yet..... but are you saying that one > currently cannot run the latest Flume release under Windows (until those > patches are committed)? > > > > Thanks, > > Otis > -- > > Monitoring * Alerting * Anomaly Detection * Centralized Log Management > > Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/ > > > > > > > > On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 10:55 PM, Roshan Naik <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Windows patches are waiting to be committed. > > > > As of now you have two ways.. > > - Look for all the patches with 'Windows' in the title, manually apply > them to a locally checked out version of flume source and build. > > - Use flume from HDP for windows > > > > -roshan > > > > > > > > On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 7:06 PM, terreyshih <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > How can I run the agent on windows environment ? > > thanks, > Terrey > > > > > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE > NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity > to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, > privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
