Run Flume master on Windows

Question

I'm able to run a Cloudera Flume node on Windows but I can't get a Flume master running. Is this possible and how can you do it?

Answer 1

I don't think this is possible within windows unless you are willing to consider a virtual linux/unix box to act as the Flume master.

I have not spent any time researching Cygwin as a possible solution.
