Thank you Ahmed,
This is great. So, just to let you know I merged the specific PR you are talking about after several rounds of feedback. Others feel free to inspect here: #129 https://github.com/apache/drat/pull/129 So what this means is that one portion of the API, which previously relied on the equivalent of a Exec/Shell Call to the ./bin/drat index script is replaced by direct Java APIs. This is the first step of the proposal – to make a better UI we need API calls for DRAT that are not based on System calls and instead are using the OODT and DRAT REST APIs. Regarding the sendEvent function I think that the best way to describe it is to read this paper, and watch this lecture from ApacheCon NA 2013: First: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paul_Ramirez3/publication/232619682_A_Reusable_Process_Control_System_Framework_for_the_Orbiting_Carbon_Observatory_and_NPP_Sounder_PEATE_missions/links/0c960528a4d0967196000000.pdf Then: https://www.slideshare.net/chrismattmann/wengines-workflows-and-2-years-of-advanced-data-processing-in-apache-oodt I think that will help a lot to understand it. You may also want to read: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/Catalog+and+Archive And specifically the right hand column under Workflow / CAS-PGE / Resource Manager Also FWIW, I think based on the size of your contribution for the replacing the index function, and the quickness you worked on that, I would expect that the _entire_ set of remaining APIs e.g., crawl, map, and reduce, are completed by next week. I am committed to helping you get there, so please keep asking questions. I think to stay on schedule we need to finish the full set of APIs by next week so you can get started with the actual beginnings of the API development.
