Apache VXQuery uses a command line interface. I wonder how much could be reused for AsterixDB. Apache VXQuery cli builds the Hyracks job and sends that to the cluster, where I think in the AsterixDB world you would want to use the HTTP-based API and allow the server to compile the Hyracks job. The cli for AsterixDB seems like a simple interface that connects to the HTTP-based API.
