Win32 as a production platform
Dear ZooKeeper users,
the ZooKeeper Administrator's Guide states that Win32 is currently only
supported as a development platform but not as production platform:
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.1.1/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_su
pportedPlatforms
Since we are currently evaluating ZooKeeper for production use on both
Linux and Windows servers, I would be interested in knowing what the
missing pieces for full-fledged Windows support are.
Thank you very much in advance and kind regards,
Marc

Dear Mahadev, dear Patrick,
thank you very much for the quick replies.
Given your encouraging answers we will carry on with our project both on
Linux and Windows. Of course, we will be more than happy to contribute
back any experiences with Win32 as a production platform provided that
our project makes it that far... (We are still prototyping at the
moment.)
Thanks again for the responses and for maintaining such a great product,
Marc

Agree. I developed on a windows box for about 9months w/o any windows
specific issues being found. If someone were willing to do the work and
take on responsibility for long term dev/test/support I don't see why we
wouldn't add it.

Hi Marc,
The only thing missing would be testing and support. We do most of our
testing on linux boxes and for the same reason its easy for us to support
the platforms that we use. We do not have access to windows boxes to test
and (therefore) support windows as a suggested production platform. Also,
the other reason is that currently we have a very few set of people who
contribute there time for development and support of Zookeeper and are more
conversant with linux than windows. It would be a stretch to expect them to
support windows as a production platform.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
mahadev
