Hi All, This was the first time I participated in GSoC and I contributed to Apache VXQuery-180[1]. I had below mentioned objectives:
- Implement REST API - Alter CLI to use REST API - Migrate XTests to use REST API I am happy to say that I have covered all of them. Implementations can be found in PR 172 [2] (PR has been merged). In current version of VXQuery, below mentioned changes are implemented. - Implemented the REST Server to start through the cluster controller application. - CLI now calls the REST API (remote if given, local one else) to execute queries. - Migrated XTests to use the REST API to run queries related to tests I would like to make this an opportunity to pay my heartiest gratitude to my mentors, Ian Maxon and Preston Carman without whom this project wouldn't have become a success. They were always very responsive and helpful, provided proper guidance during this period. Also I should thank VXQuery community for all their support given, especially through mailing list. Finally I would like to thank ASF for giving this valuable opportunity to me. This was indeed a great summer for me. Please visit my blog post[3] to find more information on my project. I’m planning to continue my contribution to VXQuery in future as well and hope to see you all soon.
