Apache Kylin : running under windows 7 - apache

I have looked all over the net, and could not really find anything on running Apache Kylin in Windows 7.
Another approach is using Docker, but would i be able to run Docker under windows 7.
Hope someone can let me know if it is possible or not.

As almost all user are running Hadoop on Linux, and Kylin need to be deployed on a Hadoop node, so Kylin didn't provide a non-Linux startup script.
In theory, Kylin can run on Windows as it is a Java (tomcat) application.
Could you please share your scenario of running Kylin on Windows?

Run Redis server as service on Window 10?

I was able to run the redis server through the Windows Subsystem for Linux following this guide: https://medium.com/#RedisLabs/windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl-10e3ca4d434e.
But I do not fully understand how the subsystem works. I thought it would run the server on Windows and I could see this in the Windows Services which is not the case. Can someone tell me how to run Redis as a service.
EDIT
Does someone know if there is a standard way to download and install Redis for windows other than using the WSL? I have seen some guides, but they are outdated.

Magento 2 development environment on local server

I need to create a local development environment and struggling a little with the setup. I want to replicate my live server as close as I possibly can.
I want to install Magento ver 2.1.8, running MySQL 5.6, PHP 7.0 with NginX and Debian.
Now, it would be more than one person which will be working on the development sites, therefore, it will have to stored on our local server.
We are working on Windows 10 Pro machines.
I had a look at tools such as VirtualBox, Vagrant and Docker but reading about them got me even more confused.
I had a brief look at the LAMP stack too. Could you recommend the best way to go for my situation?
Do I have to use these tools in combination with each other?
Do I have to install the software on each computer or on local server?
I recommend to use this docker container: https://github.com/yvoronoy/magento2docker
It uses apache but you can change it via editing Dockerfile. Main advantage in this container is configured sshfs mounting in MacOS which works a little bit faster that default mounting, and you can work with source code as you work on local instance.

Spark long deploying time on EC2 with custom Windows AMI

I am trying to run a Spark cluster with some Windows instances on an Amazon EC2 infrastructure, but I am facing some issues with extremely high deploying times.
My project needs to be run on a Windows environment, and therefore I am using an alternative AMI by indicating it with the -a flag provided by Spark's spark-ec2 script. When I run the script, the process keeps stuck waiting for the instances to be up and running, with the following message:
Waiting for all instances in cluster to enter 'ssh-ready' state.............
When I use the default AMI, instead, the cluster launches normally after very few minutes of waiting.
I have searched for similar problems with other users, and so far I have only been able to find this statement about long deploying time with custom AMI-s (see Josh Rosen's answer).
I am using the version 1.2.0 of Spark. The call that launches the cluster looks something like the following:
./spark-ec2 -k MyKeyPair
-i MyKeyPair.pem
-s 10
-a ami-905fe9e7
--instance-type=t1.micro
--region=eu-west-1
--spark-version=1.2.0
launch MyCluster
The AMI indicated above refers to:
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base - ami-905fe9e7
Desc: Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard edition with 64-bit architecture. [English]
Any help or acclaration abouth this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I think I have figured out the problem. It seems Spark does not support the creation of clusters on a Windows environment with its default scripts. I think it is still possible to create a cluster with some manual tweaking, but it goes out of my limited knowledge. Here is the official post that explains it.
Instead, as a temporal solution, I am considering the usage of a Microsoft Azure cluster, which has just released an experimental tool that makes able to use a variant of Apache Hadoop (Spark) on their HDinsight clusters. Here is the article that explains it better.

How can I run the InternetExplorerDriver through a linux VM?

What are the options here as our plan is to be able to execute selenium tests on a linux (CentOS) vm using jenkins to schedule the execution using selenium and we only need to test Internet Explorer 9 at this time.
Has anyone had any luck using Wine with them?
What are my other options?
Thanks.
Hmm, consider this more like a guess than an answer:
I would go by the path of investigating the Selenium Grid in setup that your main machine with CentOS would play "hub" role and virtual machine would be "node" - Everything you need to investigate is how to "see" the virtual machine by entering its IP. I think this should be somehow possible, but do not know how to setup it

Apache Solr as background process in Windows

I would like to run Apache Solr in windows as background Process. Now I am starting solr through terminal using command java -jar start.jar. The problem with this is this stops when the terminal closes..
Any Suggestion?
Thanks
Solr with Tomcat.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
As for previous answer, you can do it easier using services.msc to set Tomcat to start on bootup.
My answer to a previous question. But this is for setting up multiple "cores", so please dont confuse yourself over this.
How to start and Stop SOLR from A user created windows service
I used this tutorial and it works perfectly:
Setup Apache Solr on Windows with Jetty Running as a Service via NSSM
If you use Tomcat as you application host, you can easily run that as a Windows Service.
