The statements in our
Documentation are true at the moment. Both are running on Windows but the streaming
platform (Kafka) has a bug on windows (it needs to be restarted over and over
again to delete old data). This bug would fill the hard disk in a productive
system.
Therefore, there is no support on windows at the moment. For POC/Test
Installations it still makes sense to have these components on windows (to test
the features) therefore the One Installer will install these components too on
a Windows environment.
We hope that there will soon be a solution to this problem and then
Windows will officially be supported.
But it is not yet officially supported by Automic (because of the Kafka
bug).
Our recommendation at the moment is that you can of course run the
corresponding docker containers for Flink/Kafka/Zookeeper on Windows, and if
only Windows is there.
