CloudI Java Tutorial

CloudI Java Tutorial

This repository contains the example source code for the tutorial at https://cloudi.org/tutorial_java.html. The source code provides local real-time recommendations for the electronic books available at Project Gutenberg.

While the source code is meant to show information related to Java development with the Java CloudI API, additional source code dependencies are used:

• Apache Log4j to allow Apache Mahout to use the CloudI log file through stdout/stderr (which keeps all the service log output in the cloudi.log file)
• Apache Commons DBCP for the Apache Mahout database connection pool
• Apache Mahout for the recommendations in Java
• Gson for JSON serialization in Java
• Jcommander for command-line parsing in Java of CloudI service configuration arguments
• PostgreSQL Driver for Java database usage along with PostgreSQL and Apache Mahout

BUILD

Use maven and JDK 1.7 or 1.8 (Java 7 or 8) to build:

mvn clean package

RUNNING

Refer to the Java Tutorial for detailed steps.
