Ok, I admit I've still got a ways to go, but I'm pleased to announce
that I was just able to spin up a three-node Hyracks cluster on
Windows with zero configuration on the NC nodes, and extremely minimal
configuration on the CC node. See attached screenshot showing three
Windows VMs as well as the browser showing the output of the Hyracks
node-list REST call.
There are a number of kluges in the code right now, although a pretty
good amount of stuff is working right as well. The elephant in the
room is that, as I said, this is a Hyracks cluster, not Asterix. Using
the same single point of configuration for Asterix configuration
options is I think the last big piece of this puzzle and I hope to
finish that next week. Then it will be polishing.
I've spoken with Preston about VXQuery's requirements (simple subset
of Asterix's, I believe) as well as with Ian about how this will play
in the YARN world, and I don't currently foresee any roadblocks. I've
also got some good ideas about the next steps, such as expanding the
NC service to handle downloads for UDFs and possibly even the Hyracks
client app jars themselves (Asterix / VXQuery / etc).
