"Models can be specified using annotated Java, XML documents, or modeling
tools like Rational Rose, then imported into EMF. "
I am past the import phase. My EMF model has been generated as a set of
java classes. For purposes of this discussion, imagine we have a java
bean. As I understand it, Gora would have me write some json and use it or
generate yet another class that then can be mapped into Accumulo. I gather
I would then have to write some code to pump data from my EMF object into
the Accoumulo object.
I think I am answering my own question. Gora is creating work not saving
it owing entirely to my situation. No doubt it works well for others.
To wit:
**EMF generated class snippet:
public interface CDAInstance extends EObject {
String getDocumentId();
void setDocumentId(String value);
...more getters and setters...
**JSON required by avro snippet
{
"type": "record",
"name": "CDAInstance",
"namespace": "iop.storet",
"fields": [
{"name": "documentId", "type": "string"},
...more fields...
]
}
** Class generated by Gora snippet
public class CDAInstance extends PersistentBase {
public static final Schema _SCHEMA = Schema.parse
("{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"CDAInstance\",\"namespace\":\"iop.storet\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"documentId\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"patientId\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"content\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"created\",\"type\":\"long\"},{\"name\":\"createdBy\",\"type\":\"string\"}]}");
public static enum Field {
DOCUMENT_ID(0,"documentId"),
...more fields...
**Some pump code
put(Field.DOCUMENT_ID, emf.getDocumentID(*));*
...More Fields...
Thanks, I did get my question answered.
