Doradus on OpenShift Quickstart

This is a simple Red Hat OpenShift example that demonstrates how to deploy and use Doradus (https://github.com/dell-oss/Doradus) as an OpenShift cartridge.

Running on OpenShift

Create an account at https://www.openshift.com

Create Do It Yourself (DIY) Application. Note that diy is OpenShift keyword. In this example, we will name our application "doradusdemo"

rhc app create doradusdemo diy

Add this upstream repo

cd doradusdemo
git remote add upstream https://github.com/dell-oss/doradus-openshift-quickstart
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Then push the repo upstream

git push

Test

Invoke this URL to list all applications under Doradus
http://doradusdemo-$yournamespace.$youropenshiftserver/_applications

For the first time, you should expect to see empty list.

Using Rest Client, post this XML schema to create a new application and its tables 
in Doradus via the URL above

 <application name="MyApplication"> 
        <key>Test123</key> 
        <options> 
            <option name="StorageService">SpiderService</option> 
        </options> 
        <tables> 
            <table name="Movies"> 
                <fields> 
                    <field name="Name" type="text"/> 
                    <field name="ReleaseDate" type="timestamp"/> 
                    <field name="Cancelled" type="boolean"/> 
                    <field name="Director" type="text"/> 
                    <field name="Leads" type="text" collection="true"/> 
                    <field name="Budget" type="integer"/> 
                </fields> 
            </table> 
        </tables> 
    </application>
