Set up Flink Cluster on Windows machines

[Yifei Li <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is it possible to set up cluster on Windows machines? I have git installed
and when I use start-cluster.sh in git cmd, it asks me to type in password
for other machines. After I did it, it showed nohup:command not found.


I am just wondering if it is possible to set up clusters on Windows
machines? If yes, can anyone point me to any guide?

Thanks,

Yifei

I should also think that using Cygwin may work quite well and allow you to
just use the current Unix-oriented shell scripts with maybe slight
modifications.

Hi Yifei,

I think this has not been done before. At least I am not aware of anybody
running Flink in cluster mode on Windows.
In principle this should work. It is possible to start a local instance on
Windows (start-local.bat) and to locally execute Flink programs on this
instance using the flink.bat script.
However, there are no scripts or further tooling support to start Flink
processes on remote Windows servers as for Linux using ssh.

I think the only way to do this right now is to manually start the Flink
Java processes on each Windows machine. You should check the bash scripts
for how to read certain configuration parameters from flink-conf.yaml and
how to construct the right classpath.

Best, Fabian
