Quick Start

This tutorial will outline the steps needed to get quickly started with the Apache Rya store using the web based endpoint.

Prerequisites

• Columnar Store (Accumulo or MongoDB) The tutorial will go forward using Accumulo
• Apache Rya code (Git: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=rya.git or https://github.com/apache/rya.git)
• Maven 3.0 +

Building from Source

Using Git, pull down the latest code from the url above.

Run the command to build the code mvn clean install

If all goes well, the build should be successful and a war should be produced in web/web.rya/target/web.rya.war

Deployment Using Tomcat

Unwar the above war into the webapps directory.

To point the web.rya war to the appropriate Accumulo instance, make a properties file environment.properties and put it in the classpath. Here is an example:

instance.name=accumulo  #Accumulo instance name
instance.zk=localhost:2181  #Accumulo Zookeepers
instance.username=root  #Accumulo username
instance.password=secret  #Accumulo pwd
rya.tableprefix=rya_  #Rya Table Prefix
rya.displayqueryplan=true  #To display the query plan

Start the Tomcat server. ./bin/startup.sh

Usage

First, we need to load data. See the Load Data section.

Second, we need to query that data. See the Query Data section.
