Hi,
I tried to use the newly-supported RocksDB backend (Flink 1.1.4) on my Windows laptop. However, it is not creating any state and is throwing NPE while trying to call: org.apache.flink.streaming.util.HDFSCopyFromLocal$1.run(HDFSCopyFromLocal.java:47) which eventually gets down to not finding Hadoop Winutils. I am not using an hdfs path.... String statepath = parameterTool.get("statepath", "file:///c:/temp/flink/checkpoints<file:///c:\temp\flink\checkpoints>"); env.setStateBackend(new RocksDBStateBackend(statepath)); I notice that in v1.2.0 the async checkpoint mode has been removed (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4340) In the interim is there any hint to using RocksDB on Windows, or should I just revert to File for my playground?
