             Summary: Agent tries to use POSIX paths for the variable data runtime directory.
                 Key: MESOS-6722
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6722
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: agent
            Reporter: Alex Clemmer
            Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer


When the agent boots up, it checks `os::user` in an attempt to set the `runtime_dir`. Essentially, if the user is `root`, it will put this directory somewhere in `/var`, and if not, somewhere in `/temp`. This is mainly to avoid permissions issues.

Since `os::user` is not implemented on Windows, this crashes us and prevents connecting to the master.

We should change this to set the directory intelligently on Windows.
