Max Michels created FLINK-1406:
----------------------------------
Summary: Windows compatibility
Key: FLINK-1406
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1406
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Max Michels
Priority: Minor
The documentation [1] states: "Flink runs on all UNIX-like environments: Linux,
Mac OS X, Cygwin. The only requirement is to have a working Java 6.x (or
higher) installation."
I just found out Flink runs also natively on Windows. Do we want to support
Windows? If so, we should update the documentation. Clearly, we don't support
it at the moment for development. At multiple places, the tests contain
references to "/tmp" or "/dev/random/" which are not Windows compatible.
Probably it's enough to update the documentation stating that Flink runs on
Windows but cannot be build or developed on Windows without Cygwin.
