I've given a quick glance over them -- they look like they'd be a great
addition!
We'd have to figure out some mechanism to distribute the exercises (as
we can't compile them), but that's a manageable problem.
If you want to open an issue on JIRA, that'd be the first step to get
these into the codebase. Some things to think about meanwhile:
* Check out the coding practices and code formatting guidelines -
http://accumulo.apache.org/source.html#coding-practices
* Add ASL headers to the files
* Figure out where might be a good place to include these in the
Accumulo tree - maybe examples/training?
* Consider what documentation would be needed for someone to self-guide
themselves through these examples
* Look into redistribution rights on the included twitter.json file. I'm
not sure what Twitter's terms of service are. It may be easier to write
a script that will generate some example tweets. It keeps us from being
liable for what those tweets contain and also prevents us from having to
distribute a big blob.
Thanks again!

Can you add descriptions of the exercises to the README file? Many
people finding that page would move to the next one with details to
catch their interest.

I had just finished finalizing the training materials for a basic and
advanced Accumulo class my company ClearEdge IT offers. I think some of
the more advanced code tutorials would be valuable to contribute to the
Accumulo examples library.
The examples all work with status updates from Twitter and include topics
such as:
- Basic Reading/Writing
- Indexing tweets and creating a program to retrieve tweets based on
given search terms
- Bulk ingestion of the tweets
- Using MapReduce to building a geo-index table for the tweets with
latitude/longitude information via z-points
- Levering the geo-index to retrieve tweets from a given lat/long
bounding box
- Custom iterators such as filters and combiners
If this is something the community would be interested in, please take the
time to review them at https://github.com/adamjshook/accumulo-training and
let me know if there are any you think would be worth contributing. I'd be
happy to take the time to massage them to meet the standards.
Cheers,
