Local Machine Setup

---

This section explains how to start an InsightEdge environment on a local machine.

Prerequisites

Before running InsightEdge, verify that you have the following installed in your environment:

• Java 8
• Scala 2.11
• Maven 3.1+

Starting the Local Environment

The InsightEdge environment consists of Spark and the XAP data grid. You can use the Command Line Interface tool to start InsightEdge as described below.

Starting a Complete Environment

To start a complete InsightEdge environment on your local machine, run the following command from the $XAP_HOME/bin directory:

insightedge host run-agent --auto --gsc=2

This will start the following components on your machine:

• Spark Master UI at localhost:8080
  • URL for submitting spark jobs: spark://127.0.0.1:7077
• Spark Worker UI at localhost:8081
• Zeppelin UI at localhost:9090
• XAP service grid:
  • XAP Manager at localhost:8090
  • 2 Grid Service Containers (GSCs)
• XAP Web-UI at localhost:8099
  

Then run the following command to deploy a Space called insightedge-space with 2 partitions on those GSCs:

insightedge space deploy --partitions=2 insightedge-space

Stopping the Local Environment

To stop the local environment, use the kill-agent command that sends a kill signal to all relevant processes:

insightedge host kill-agent
