[jira] [Updated] (ASTERIXDB-1163) Usability of Asterix front-end examples - Discussion

["Eugenia Gabrielova (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Eugenia Gabrielova updated ASTERIXDB-1163:
------------------------------------------
    Description: 
Motivation:
While collaborating with [~javierjia], I observed that the SDK design and existing examples were not ideal for helping him get things done in his project. He mentioned that he found it more straightforward to submit queries directly and the Javascript resources available are too clunky. He wanted more ease of use in communicating with a remote machine.

Discussion:
The existing SDK setup and examples aren't great for getting things done and it can be challenging to untangle. I would like to refactor this code with significant design changes with feedback from the community on what is needed.

Questions:
- Those who have built (or would like to build) front-end stuff with Asterix - what would help you? What made your life difficult?
- Thoughts on language-specific libraries? e.g., pysterix (python bridge for Asterix)

Goal: I'd like to make it easy for people to build cool things on AsterixDB, without a messy front-end learning curve. This change would also make it easier to automatically test the examples (a concern recently mentioned in the mailing list). Drastically reducing the technical debt of the geospatial example is my next step.
