@M.Manna - thanks for your reply.
I did read that document but clearly didn't digest that bit properly.

I believe this needs to be articulated a bit more, which is not a big

Hi Liam,
as a DB guy that does MSSQL (on windows, obviously) I literally have

Hi Jan,
I'd presume that downloading an archive and seeing a bunch of .sh files
would imply that Kafka wasn't built to run on Windows.
Given that it's a cluster based technology, I'd assume that it wouldn't be
supported for Windows given that most server based stuff isn't unless

@Jacob Sheck: It was 18 months ago so I don't recall but I was told

This is an excellent suggestion and I intend to do so henceforth
(thanks!), but it would be an adjunct to my request rather than the
answer; it still needs to be made clear in the docs/faq that you
*can't* use windows directly.

I would recommend using Docker — it would end up being run on a Linux kernel VM
on windows and is easier to get started on with a bit of learning curve for
Docker. Less time wasted overall and at least at that point you would know
Docker.

The answer is - Absolutely not. If you don’t have Linux rack, or Kubernetes
deployment -it will not work on Windows as guaranteed.
I know this because I have tried to make it work for the past 1 year. File
handling always fails and crashes the cluster on Windows.

Kafka uses Linux OS page cache and flushing techniques as well as in-sync
replicas to bring down latency since storing to the hard drive is likely
the slowest part. It seems it would be defeating the point if you were to
install it on Windows, just like everyone here mentioned. ;)
Just wanted to
If you want reduce maintenance headaches, I highly recommend not running
brokers on windows (or in vm’s for that matter). It really isn’t supported.
Kafka needs highly performant OS primitives. For example, XFS, and ext4 are
recommended filesystems for reasons specific to Kafka. If this is j
I'm curious as well. That doc blurb doesn't give specifics. How is kafka
run (or tested) on Windows? Natively via the command line shell, etc. or
via cygwin, within a *nix VM on Windows, or via Windows 10's Ubuntu Linux
Bash shell? Would be interesting to see how each method I listed performs,

One issue is that Kafka leverage some very specific features of the linux
kernel that are probably far different from Windows, so I imagine the
performance profile is likewise much different.
