Apache Arrow is composed by: The Arrow format (specification). Format implementations with different languages (C, Java, Go, Rust, ...).

Using Apache Karaf with Kubernetes

Image
In a previous blog post ( http://blog.nanthrax.net/?p=893 ), I introduced the “new” docker support in Karaf and the use of Karaf static distribution. This post follows the previous one by illustrating how to use Karaf docker image with a Kubernetes cluster. Preparing Karaf static docker image As in the previous blog post, we are preparing a Karaf static distribution based docker image. For this blog post, I’m using the example provided in Karaf: https://github.com/apache/karaf/tree/master/examples/karaf-docker-example/karaf-docker-example-static-dist . I’m just building the distribution as usual: karaf-docker-example-static-dist$ mvn clean install Preparing kubernetes testing cluster For this blog, I’m using a minikube installed locally. The installation is pretty simple: Download minikube from https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 Rename minikube-linux-amd64 as minikube Copy minikube in your path, for instance /us...
