Support Windows

[fikovnik]

Currently, the project has only been tested on Linux and OSX. It should also work on Windows. Once anyone has an access to a Windows machine, it would be great to give it a try.

I am currently working on a setup with Windows 10 (with MINGW shell) and got the following issue:
The cluster.sh is initialized with the "mycluster" config provided (but with 2 compute nodes) and the create-cluster command works fine (all machines are listed running). However, the start-hadoop command ends in the loop of wait_for_port() by waiting for the ResourceManager that is not responding.
Do you have any ideas what might cause that issue?
Thanks for your help!

We have never tried that on windows. can you check the logs from the running docker containers?

Alas, there are no logs that have been created since the Docker Container wasn't started properly. The issue is that Docker in Windows 10 environment requires Hyper-V, but after activating Hyper-V VirtualBox is not long working on Windows 10. Which causes the script for Docker Machine VirtualBox setup to fail: the computer suddenly powers off and restarts during execution of the shell scripts.
According to a post by Docker (https://forums.docker.com/t/running-docker-and-virtualbox-on-the-same-machine/23578) it seems that Docker and VirtualBox couldn't be executed on the same Windows 10 machine together.
