GSOC Proposal for the dashboard for Apache Helix
Hi,
I'm Ayola Jayamaha from Sri Lanka. I'm a final year undergraduate student
at the University of Moratuwa Computer Science & Engineering Department. I
have sat for my exams and I'm waiting for results.
When going through the GSOC Projects the project of a Dashboard for Apache
Helix caught my eyes. So I submitted a proposal for this project.I'm
attaching my proposal with this email and hope you would consider it
favorably for gsoc 2014.
Thank you.

Best Regards,
Ayola Jayamaha

I don't believe Madhuka was able to submit a formal proposal on melange (Ayola's was the only one I found). I believe he said he could work on it, but that he's ineligible to participate in the GSoC program.

Proposal looks great. Kanak, what about the proposal from Madhuka. I could
not parse his last email, did he say he cannot work on the project or he
can work on it but his college wont recognize it.
thanks,

Hi Kanak,
Thanks for the reply. I will go through them and let you know.
I will draw a UI (mock-up) for dashboard with mainly looking on viewer that
present a current snapshot of the cluster in terms of Helix concepts. (with
view data/details over cluster)
UI elements for admin operations (the operations exposed by HelixAdmin,
ClusterSetup, and the REST API) where users can perform operations on helix
by User interface.

RE: GSOC Proposal for the dashboard for Apache Helix
Posted by Kanak Biscuitwala <ka...@hotmail.com>.
Hi Ayola,
This webpage describes the architecture: http://helix.apache.org/Architecture.html
Here are some concepts: http://helix.apache.org/Concepts.html
For the tutorial, I would first do the quick start: http://helix.apache.org/0.6.3-docs/Quickstart.html
and then go through each page of the tutorial: http://helix.apache.org/0.6.3-docs/Tutorial.html
In particular, take a close look at the Helix admin documentation: http://helix.apache.org/0.6.3-docs/tutorial_admin.html
Our sample code is in the recipes module: https://github.com/apache/helix/tree/helix-0.6.x/recipes
documentation for recipes: http://helix.apache.org/0.6.3-docs/index.html
The source for the Helix admin java implementation is here: https://github.com/apache/helix/blob/helix-0.6.x/helix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/manager/zk/ZKHelixAdmin.java
and the javadocs are here: http://helix.apache.org/javadocs/0.6.3/reference/org/apache/helix/HelixAdmin.html
The command line source code is available here: https://github.com/apache/helix/blob/helix-0.6.x/helix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/tools/ClusterSetup.java
The REST API implementation is all available here: https://github.com/apache/helix/tree/helix-0.6.x/helix-admin-webapp/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/webapp
I wouldn't worry about the Helix controller implementation; it is out of scope for the dashboard. Fundamentally, what you want is a viewer that presents a current snapshot of the cluster in terms of Helix concepts. In addition, it should provide some UI elements for admin operations (i.e. the operations exposed by HelixAdmin, ClusterSetup, and the REST API).
Thanks,
Kanak

Re: GSOC Proposal for the dashboard for Apache Helix
Posted by Ayola Jayamaha <ay...@gmail.com>.
Hi Kanak,
Answers to the questions are as follows.
1.
Hawtio[8] is a lightweight and modular[8] HTML5 web console with lots of
plugins for managing your Java stuff. Plus it also has good documentation
and community (tutorial) than other dashboards and portals.
· various options for running hawtio
o Chrome Extension
o executable jar
o under Application Server
o stand alone Java application
· Predefine API and plugin that can help on the building
dashboard[9]
· Rest API exploring Supporting[10]: Endpoint browsing (Swagger
support for rest APIs)
· Server Side Plugins in hawtio will help to get server side JVM
details (Nodes) to UI (need to try some existing sample for this)
· hawtio is a single page application, so much better for a
dashboard.
· It is highly modular and capable of dynamically loading plugins
(JavaScript Libraries)
*Some JS libs I will use*
· AngularJS Directives and angularjs API (Below I have given few
things to know to go for it)
· bootstrap API (Mainly for UI css, It is a front-end framework for
faster and easier web development)
· d3 API (chatting)
· ng-grid API (Grid/Template purpose)
· javascript API (web support - used all time )
· icons from Font Awesome (basically for ICONS)
Need go through some codes in here[14] regard to UI of hawtio-web
I am planning to check some pluggings that had done for jclouds[11] from
hawtio. As it has the same requirements and those will be full filled, This
is also one reason to pick hawtio as there are a lot people that have used
it. Some have our same requirements so those have done in here. Thus it is
possible to achieve it.
*Here is reason for AngularJS importance in hawtio*
AngularJS[1] is a toolset for building dynamic views in web-applications.
It supports extend HTML components. It is quick to develop
(Model-View-Controller design pattern) as lot of things are predefined and
clear API[2].
eg:
· Think some those more help full to give better user experience on
UI dashboard.
· 'ngDblclick' allows you to specify custom behavior on a dblclick
event.
· 'ngController' attaches a controller class to the view
· few that can help more user experience on dashboard 'ngShow',
'ngMouseenter'
· For future work 'ngTouch' for touch device also can be used and
the same dashboard can be improved over multiple devices.
*Some dashboard and portal servers, that I researched.*
· JavaScriptMVC[3] is a JavaScript framework for lightweight
applications developing and easily maintainable framework. jQuery supports.
Not much easy access for JVM.
· Backbone.js[4] gives structure to web applications. It provides
custom events binding facilities plus event handling. It connects existing
API over a RESTful JSON interface. (JVM limitation plus Java API
incompatibilities )
· jPorta[5] is a fully functional portal engine, It use Gadget, JSP
page. (Not powerful API and docs)
· jetspeed[6] supports web browser and can be considered as central
hub where information from multiple sources are made available in an easy
to use manner. It is mainly for XML portal and not for dashboard UI stuff.
· jPortlet[7] different modes of viewing such as VIEW, EDIT,
CONFIGURE or HELP. It have Skinnable look & feel (No much documentation or
clear APIs)
· I Read some on Portlet Specification[7] to get some basic idea on
java portal concepts.

2. I would like an explanation on the architecture of helix or a diagram
explaining the Helix Architecture. Also if you can point where the relevant
code of REST json, JVM api and CLI appears in Helix source code it would be
much useful. If you can share with me some sample code to try or any
diagram related it would make my work easy.
Here are some DOC I am referring[1], are those up to date or much better
tutorial that will be helpful for me to understand helix core and API
-Helix API (Java API, REST, CLI) scope is there? or grouping and limitation
over each APIs
Helix Controller[2] implementation.
[1] http://helix.apache.org/apidocs/reference/packages.html
[2] http://helix.apache.org/0.6.3-docs/tutorial_controller.html
Could you give me a good introduction to Helix. Also some sample code that
I can try to get exposed to REST API, CLI and some sample code / tutorial
to practice Java API & Interface would be much help.
3. I'm in my final year at University and don't have any other commitments
and projects going on at the moment. My previous programming experience
include mainly Microsoft Technologies (Visual Studio / MS Server / C# /
ASP.NET). Several of those projects included Crystal Reports as A Reporting
Tool. Thus as a component of HCI I'm familiar with Reporting Tools. Since I
have not much experience/exposure to open source and industrial exposure of
java I decide on applying for GSOC with the intention that it will broaden
my horizons giving me advantage over my colleagues when applying for jobs
after the exams. Therefore I find it a refreshing new experience to
interact with the open source community and to contribute to it.

RE: GSOC Proposal for the dashboard for Apache Helix
Posted by Kanak Biscuitwala <ka...@hotmail.com>.
Hi Ayola,
I'm just checking in. I had a few questions:
1. Could you describe why you picked hawtio and AngularJS as the frameworks for the dashboard? It's fine to select whichever frameworks you think are best; I'm just curious about what led you to decide on these.
2. Are there any Helix concepts that you would like any clarification on? Would it be helpful to chat for a bit on IRC to discuss requirements?
3. What is your time commitment to this project? Will you also be working on other projects this summer?
Thanks,
Kanak

Hi Ayola,
Great! I have reviewed your proposal and have acknowledged it. Once Apache gives the go-ahead, the voting phase will start.
Let me know if you have any questions.
