Talking with Keith and Christopher today, they mentioned it might be useful to pull the examples out of Accumulo into a separate project with it's own repo. Here are some talking points
- Provide an easy means to run examples against the MiniAccumuloCluster. - Give users the ability to run examples without having to worry with the rest of the codebase. - Allow testing of the same examples against different releases. - Could force the examples to use the external APIs only if we reorg'd the packages. - Potentially fold the wikisearch into this examples projects and bring it back up to date. To this end, I started with master (e2055020219e6d56afb8d19b5a8eea519599f8b1) and deleted everything that didn't seem to be related to examples. Very early stages, but it is pushed to https://github.com/mjwall/accumulo-examples. The command 'mvn clean test' works, but the default Accumulo version is 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT. I was surprised that 'mvn clean test -Daccumulo.version=1.6.4' and 'mvn clean test -Daccumulo.version=1.7.0' both failed to compile, but in different ways. Interested in everyone's thoughts. Mike
