Answer 1

Samza's not tested or built on Windows. There's no reason it can't run there, it's just that no one has done the work to smooth out the multiplatform assumptions (like the one you're running into regarding paths). Patches welcome.

Answer 2

I experienced a similar problem and the solution for me was commenting the testTTL call in TestRocksDBKeyValueStore.scala and re-run the gradle script. Try If it works for you.
