Setting up Environment

Setup command line tools and Node

On Mac, using Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install git
brew install maven
brew install node.js

On Linux, using apt:

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install maven
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Make sure git is version 1.8.x or greater installed on your machine:

$ git --version
git version 2.8.2

Build

Git clone the CDAP repository and the Hydrator plugins:

git clone git@github.com:cdapio/cdap.git

Now build using maven:

cd cdap
mvn clean install -DskipTests

If you get compile errors similar to this one:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.ByteBuffer.mark()Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;
        at org.eclipse.aether.connector.basic.ChecksumCalculator.update(ChecksumCalculator.java:202)

this is likely due to the version of maven that does not work properly with latest Java versions. Upgrading to maven 3.6.1 will most likely fix the problem.

Please refer to Build System & CI for more details on building CDAP.

Build and run Local Standalone CDAP

Follow the steps above to build CDAP and install it to the local maven repository. Then cd out of the cdap directory and clone hydrator-plugins:

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:cdapio/hydrator-plugins.git

Build the plugins:

note: --remote pulls the latest versions of every submodule, rather than the versions locked in the hydrator-plugins git. This is intentional.

cd hydrator-plugins
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
mvn clean install -DskipTests

Then cd out of hydrator-plugins back to the cdap directory, and build the CDAP sandbox, including the plugins:

cd ../cdap
HYDRATOR_PLUGINS=../hydrator-plugins
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m" mvn clean package \
    -pl cdap-standalone,cdap-app-templates/cdap-etl \
    -am -amd -DskipTests \
    -P templates,dist,release,unit-tests \
    -Dadditional.artifacts.dir=$HYDRATOR_PLUGINS
cd cdap-standalone/target
unzip cdap-sandbox-<version>-SNAPSHOT.zip 
cd cdap-sandbox-<version>-SNAPSHOT
cd bin
./cdap sandbox start

The UI runs on localhost:11011
Wrangle a sample file, build a pipeline, run it.

IDE Setup

Download the IntelliJ Community Edition from http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
Import settings into IntelliJ as explained here:
- Coding Standards
- Set Imports: Preferences -> Code Style -> Java -> Imports. Uncheck "Use fully qualified class names in javadocs"

Creating an IntelliJ project

- git clone git@github.com:cdapio/cdap.git
Open IntelliJ and import the CDAP project
1. Go to menu File -> Import Project ...
2. Select the pom.xml under the CDAP directory
3. Check Import Maven projects automatically and Automatically download: Sources, Documentations boxes in the Import Project from Maven popup.
4. Click next and the new CDAP project will be created.

Setting up Checkstyle in IntelliJ

For more information on the rules enforced by checkstyle, see Java Coding Standards.

Setting up Auto Copyright Header in IntelliJ

In IntelliJ, do this:

Go to menu IntelliJ IDEA -> Preferences…
Expand the Copyright setting on the left (under Project Settings)
Select Copyright Profiles and add a new Copyright Profile (there is a + button in the top-middle)
Give the profile a name (e.g. Cask Apache v2)

Paste the following text to the Copyright text box

Copyright © $today.year Cask Data, Inc.

In the Allow replacing copyright if old copyright contains box, enter Copyright.
Click on Copyright on the left again and add a new scope of All with the copyright profile added in above step.
Note: if there is an existing copyright in a file, and you are modifying the file (rather than completely replacing it), extend the copyright rather than replacing it:
"Copyright © 2014" becomes Copyright © 2014-2016" (or similar).
