Configuration Revamp

- Ini section of node / cc details now returns ini param names instead of
  managix option names
- Normalized command line -vs- ini file configuration parameter names
- Eliminated unused parameters
- Ini validation
- Migrate *DB parameters out of [app] and into nc / cc sections as
  appropriate
- Eliminate [app] section.  Cluster-wide configuration lives in [common]
- Sort properties alphabetically when returned by HTTP api

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.
