[ASTERIXDB-2321][STO] Follow the contract in IIndexCursor.open calls

- user model changes: no
- storage format changes: no
- interface changes: no

Details:
- The index cursor contract says that an open call which returns
  successfully, leaves the cursor in the open state, otherwise,
  the cursor remains in the closed state.
- The LSM cursors have many cursors inside. In the
  case where one of the cursors fails to open, and an exception
  is about to be thrown, we must close all previously open cursors
  since the LSM cursor will be in the closed state
  and close will not be called.

What is AsterixDB?

AsterixDB is a BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a rich feature set that sets it apart from other Big Data platforms. Its feature set makes it well-suited to modern needs such as web data warehousing and social data storage and analysis. AsterixDB has:

  • Data model
    A semistructured NoSQL style data model (ADM) resulting from extending JSON with object database ideas

  • Query languages
    Two expressive and declarative query languages (SQL++ and AQL) that support a broad range of queries and analysis over semistructured data

  • Scalability
    A parallel runtime query execution engine, Apache Hyracks, that has been scale-tested on up to 1000+ cores and 500+ disks

  • Native storage
    Partitioned LSM-based data storage and indexing to support efficient ingestion and management of semistructured data

  • External storage
    Support for query access to externally stored data (e.g., data in HDFS) as well as to data stored natively by AsterixDB

  • Data types
    A rich set of primitive data types, including spatial and temporal data in addition to integer, floating point, and textual data

  • Indexing
    Secondary indexing options that include B+ trees, R trees, and inverted keyword (exact and fuzzy) index types

  • Transactions
    Basic transactional (concurrency and recovery) capabilities akin to those of a NoSQL store

Build from source

To build AsterixDB from source, you should have a platform with the following:

  • A Unix-ish environment (Linux, OS X, will all do).
  • git
  • Maven 3.3.9 or newer.
  • Oracle JDK 8 or newer.

Instructions for building the master:

  • Checkout AsterixDB master:

      $git clone https://github.com/apache/asterixdb.git
    
  • Build AsterixDB master:

      $cd asterixdb
      $mvn clean package -DskipTests
    

Run the build on your machine

Here are steps to get AsterixDB running on your local machine:

  • Start a single-machine AsterixDB instance:

      $cd asterixdb/asterix-server/target/asterix-server-*-binary-assembly/
      $./opt/local/bin/start-sample-cluster.sh
    
  • Good to go and run queries in your browser at:

      http://localhost:19001
    
  • Read more documentations to learn the data model, query language, and how to create a cluster instance.
