Windows support

[PATTERSON Tony <to...@alstom.com>]

Hello,

My group produces system that have to run on both Linux and Windows.  We're very interested in Kafka but are inhibited by the lack of windows support.

I notice in your documentation you state, "We have seen a few issues running on Windows and Windows is not currently a well supported platform though we would be happy to change that."

Can you elaborate on "we would be happy to change that?"  Is that something you might do for either financial or resource contributions?  And, if possible, could you elaborate on the issues you see on Windows?

Cheers,

Tony Patterson

The original intent was resource contributions. Meaning, patches that fix
issues running on Windows are welcome.
