Apache DataFu

Apache License, Version 2.0, January 2004 Apache Jira Maven Central GitHub Actions Build GitHub pull requests

Apache DataFu is a collection of libraries for working with large-scale data in Hadoop. The project was inspired by the need for stable, well-tested libraries for data mining and statistics.

It consists of three libraries:

Source release

If you are starting from a source release, then you'll want to verify the release is valid and bootstrap the build environment.

To verify that the archive has the correct SHA512 checksum, the following two commands can be run. These should produce the same output.

openssl sha512 < apache-datafu-sources-x.y.z.tgz cat apache-datafu-sources-x.y.z.tgz.sha512

To verify the archive against its signature, you can run:

gpg2 --verify apache-datafu-sources-x.y.z.tgz.asc

The command above will assume you are verifying apache-datafu-sources-x.y.z.tgz and produce “Good signature” if the archive is valid.

To build DataFu from a source release, it is first necessary to download a gradle wrapper script. This bootstrapping process requires Gradle to be installed on the source machine. Gradle is available through most package managers or directly from its website. Once you have installed Gradle and have ensured that the gradle is available in your path, you can bootstrap the wrapper with:

gradle -b bootstrap.gradle

After the bootstrap script has completed, you should find a gradlew script in the root of the project. The regular gradlew instructions below should then be available.

When building from a source release, the version for all generated artifacts will be of the form x.y.z. If you were to clone the git repo and build you would find -SNAPSHOT appended to the version. This helps to distinguish official releases from those generated from the code repository for testing purposes.

Building the Code

To build DataFu from a git checkout or binary release, run:

./gradlew clean assemble

Each project's jars can be found under the corresponding sub directory. For example, the datafu-pig JAR can be found under datafu-pig/build/libs. The artifact name will be of the form datafu-pig-x.y.z.jar if this is a source release and datafu-pig-x.y.z-SNAPSHOT.jar if this is being built from the code repository.

Generating Eclipse Files

This command generates the eclipse project and classpath files:

./gradlew eclipse

To load the projects in Eclipse:

  • Select “File -> Import”, then “Existing Projects into Workspace”
  • Choose the root of the repository as the root directory
  • Check “Search for nested projects”
  • Click Finish

To clean up the eclipse files:

./gradlew cleanEclipse

Using Intellij

If you would like to use Intellij, please import the base datafu directory as a Gradle project. You may run into the following issues:

  • Source/Tests directories not marked - please mark them manually.
  • Tests not identified - add junit manually to the module using Open Module Settings->Libraries
  • When running tests you get Error scala: Output path ... is shared between - change your output path as described here

Running the Tests

To run all the tests:

./gradlew test

To run only one module's tests - for example, only the DataFu Pig tests:

./gradlew :datafu-pig:test

To run tests for a single class, use the tests property. For example, to run only the QuantileTests:

./gradlew :datafu-pig:test --tests QuantileTests

The tests can also be run from within Eclipse. You'll need to install the TestNG plugin for Eclipse for DataFu Pig and Hourglass. See: http://testng.org/doc/download.html.

Potential issues and workaround:

  • You may run out of heap when executing tests in Eclipse. To fix this adjust your heap settings for the TestNG plugin. Go to Eclipse->Preferences. Select TestNG->Run/Debug. Add “-Xmx1G” to the JVM args.
  • You may get a “broken pipe” error when running tests. If so right click on the project, open the TestNG settings, and uncheck “Use project TestNG jar”.
