Spring XD makes it easy to solve common big data problems such as data ingestion and export, real-time analytics, and batch workflow orchestration. By building on mature, open source projects such as Spring Integration, Data and Batch, Spring XD will simplify the process of creating real-word big data solutions. XD stands for 'eXtreme Data' or 'x' as in y=mx+b :)
While it is possible today to build such solutions using Spring (see the Spring Data Book for details and examples), Spring XD will move well beyond the framework API level by providing an out-of-the-box executable server, a pluggable module system, a high level configuration DSL, a simple model for distributing data processing instances on or off the Hadoop cluster, and more.
You can fork the repository and/or monitor JIRA to see what is going on. As of April it is practically a clean-slate, but we wanted to make sure that our community members had a chance to get in on the ground floor. As always, we consider the feedback from our broad and passionate community to be one of our greatest assets. We have been doing a lot of prototyping over the past year, so you will see some code drops soon. Also, we plan to post blogs after each sprint so that you can follow along with the progress.
We are just getting underway with documentation. Look for it on the XD wiki
- Get involved with the community on StackOverflow using the tag spring-xd.
Spring XD is released under version 2.0 of the Apache License.
Here are some ways for you to get involved
- Create JIRA tickets for bugs and new features and comment and vote on the ones that you are interested in.
- Follow the flow of developing on the work board.
- Github is for social coding: if you want to write code, we encourage contributions through pull requests from forks of this repository. If you want to contribute code this way, please familiarize yourself with the process oulined for contributing to Spring projects here: Contributor Guidelines.
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor's agreement. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
Report issues via the Spring XD JIRA.
