Where do I find the documentation for Hyracks? :-)

[Vinayak Borkar]

Please look at http://code.google.com/p/hyracks/wiki/QuickStartGuide on
how to get started with Hyracks

Thanks,
Vinayak

That's a good start to get Hyracks on a cluster. But, how does
someone learn what's needed to build Hyracks apps - including
the notion of apps, and then jobs that run w.r.t. those apps, and
the details of how to use operators and connectors and such....
Before we can have happy external users, we need to have a
way for them to learn about Hyracks in detail. Yes?

For this reason we need a page with detailed step-by-step instructions.

I am in the process of writing detailed documentation about applications
in Hyracks. It will be part of 0.1.3.

I think another important part maybe the comments in the source code.
It is a little bit hard to go through the logic without comments from
authors. Documents can be used to give a big view on the architecture,
and more details should come from the comments.

And also, comments will make it much easier to generate documents in
the future for the API :) ...

Hi, I have the same question about building a new app in hyracks. How can I do it?

[Yingyi Bu]

Hi Jiaying,

    We have a number of example applications,  you can check an example here:
    http://code.google.com/p/hyracks/source/browse/#svn%2Ftags%2Fhyracks-0.2.1%2Fhyracks-examples%2Fbtree-example

    After you build the application "mvn clean package",  you can deploy the assembly zip file from the target directory by using hyracks-cli as described here:
    http://code.google.com/p/hyracks/source/browse/#svn%2Ftags%2Fhyracks-0.2.1%2Fhyracks-documentation%2Fsrc%2Fbooks%2Fuser-guide%253Fstate%253Dclosed

    Another way to deploy app jars is to use IHyracksClientConnection:
    http://code.google.com/p/hyracks/source/browse/branches/fullstack_staging/pregelix/pregelix-core/src/main/java/edu/uci/ics/pregelix/core/driver/Driver.java

    Let us know if you hit problems.  Thanks!  

Best regards,
Yingyi

Line 211-225 is to package jars into a zip and deploy that zip:

Hi, Yingyi

      Thank you so much for your answer. Since hyracks is a big and unfamiliar system for me, I still have some questions when I program on it. First, can you provide me a brief introduction about the modules of hyracks, and some important api of the system. Second, how can I debug the app in hyracks, take the word count app for example. Thanks again!
