Hydrator Spark1 Core Scala 2.10

Introduction

CDAP is an integrated, open source application development platform for the Hadoop ecosystem that provides developers with data and application abstractions to simplify and accelerate application development, address a broader range of real-time and batch use cases, and deploy applications into production while satisfying enterprise requirements.

CDAP is a layer of software running on top of Apache Hadoop® platforms such as the Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub or the Hortonworks® Data Platform. CDAP provides these essential capabilities:

• Abstraction of data in the Hadoop environment through logical representations of underlying data;
• Portability of applications through decoupling underlying infrastructures;
• Services and tools that enable faster application creation in development;
• Integration of the components of the Hadoop ecosystem into a single platform;
• Metadata management that automatically captures metadata and lineage;
• CDAP pipelines with an integrated UI for click-and-drag development; and
• Higher degrees of operational control in production through enterprise best-practices.

CDAP exposes developer APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for creating applications and accessing core CDAP services. CDAP defines and implements a diverse collection of services that land applications and data on existing Hadoop infrastructure such as HBase, HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, Hive, and Spark.

You can run applications ranging from simple MapReduce Jobs and complete ETL (extract, transform, and load) pipelines all the way up to complex, enterprise-scale data-intensive applications.

Developers can build and test their applications end-to-end in a full-stack, single-node installation. CDAP can be run either as a Sandbox, deployed within the Enterprise on-premises or hosted in the Cloud.

For more information, see our collection of Developers' Manual and other documentation.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To install and use CDAP, there are a few simple prerequisites:

1. JDK 8+ (required to run CDAP; note that $JAVA_HOME should be set)
2. Node.js (required to run the CDAP UI; we recommend any version greater than v4.5.0)
3. Apache Maven 3.0+ (required to build the example applications; 3.1+ to build CDAP itself)

Build

You can get started with CDAP by building directly from the latest source code:

git clone https://github.com/caskdata/cdap.git
cd cdap
mvn clean package

After the build completes, you will have built all modules for CDAP.

For more build options, please refer to the build instructions.

Pull Requests

We have a simple pull-based development model with a consensus-building phase, similar to Apache's voting process. If you’d like to help make CDAP better by adding new features, enhancing existing features, or fixing bugs, here's how to do it:

1. If you are planning a large change or contribution, discuss your plans on the [email protected] mailing list first. This will help us understand your needs and best guide your solution in a way that fits the project.
2. Fork CDAP into your own GitHub repository.
3. Create a topic branch with an appropriate name.
4. Work on the code to your heart's content.
5. Once you’re satisfied, create a pull request from your GitHub repo (it’s helpful if you fill in all of the description fields).
6. After we review and accept your request, we’ll commit your code to the caskdata/cdap repository.

Thanks for helping to improve CDAP!

Mailing Lists

CDAP User Group and Development Discussions:

• [email protected]

The cdap-user mailing list is primarily for users using the product to develop applications. You can expect questions from users, release announcements, and any other discussions that we think will be helpful to the users.

• [email protected]

The cdap-dev mailing list is essentially for developers actively working on the product, and should be used for all our design, architecture and technical discussions moving forward. This mailing list will also receive all JIRA and GitHub notifications.
