> Ive seen some pretty involved docker and docker-compose demos that are cool but require a dozen docker images to be started locally. My request is that a new user don't have to start up half the world just to see how iceberg works, however maybe I am unique in that I find those types of demos frustrating. Maybe there is room for both too: quick, short, focused demos and a bigger integrated one to get a feel for waht its like to run in prod I agree. When myself and @rdblue were discussing this a while back, we wanted to keep things as simple as possible, particularly for the demo. So ideally just the bare mininum. I know there are issues when using derby in memory (though possibly those have been corrected). The setup I have is definitely more of a dev environment in that sense (3 or 4 images), but I'll see what I can do about getting it paired down. Once I've pushed the stuff I have, we can go from there. I'm by no means married to the stuff I have currently, but do think it would be a good starting off point. I'll also take a look at the smoke tests etc in yours and see what can be done. I agree that it might make sense to have both: something simple that people can just stand up without any nonsense, and then execute Iceberg commands, as well as something that might be a bit more full featured (e.g. with Hive, etc) that people can look to to get a basic understanding of a slightly more full setup. It would also allow for showing people in a more practical sense the various catalogs (i.e. something that runs with the Glue Catalog as well, etc). Perhaps some of it might be better suited for the wiki too, where a base setup that's slightly more complex might be desired. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
