Hello,

Can I use Accumulo on Windows 7? Or it only works with Linux?

Thanks,

Hi Christopher,

Thanks a lot for the information. I will talk to my manager about this.

Best regards,

Accumulo is written primarily in Java, which is platform-independent. So, it may be possible to run Accumulo in Windows. However, I do not know anybody actually doing this, and there will certainly be roadblocks and pitfalls along the way.

For one, the scripts provided in Accumulo's distribution will almost certainly not work on Windows. So, you may have to create your own way to launch the Java applications and create any necessary environment variables for class path, configuration file locations, logging, etc.

Another possible pitfall: although Java is platform independent, in theory, it is possible to write code in Java which makes assumptions that are only valid on Linux or other Unix-like environments, and it's probable that we've done that in a few places. If this is the case, then that's something we could fix, given a bug report which brings it to our attention. So, if you do end up trying this, please let the community know how it went. Although I wouldn't recommend it for production Accumulo instances, there may be a use case for it (development?) that we could support if there were contributors regularly using Windows who could provide bug reports and testing feedback.
