Setting FE dev env - Eclipse	en

Setting FE dev env using Eclipse

Preparation

• JDK 1.8+
• Maven 3.x+
• Eclipse，with M2Eclipse installed

Code Generation

The FE module requires part of the generated code, such as Thrift, Protobuf and other frameworks. This part needs to be generated by compiling the contents of the gensrc/ directory in the Linux environment.

1. Under Linux, enter the source code directory and execute the following command:

   sh build.sh --clean --fe
   

2. Then package the generated gensrc/build/java directory:

   cd gensrc/build/ && tar czf java.tar.gz java/

3. Copy java.tar.gz to the fe/ directory of the development environment and unzip

   cp java.tar.gz /path/to/doris/fe/
   cd /path/to/doris/fe/ && tar xzf java.tar.gz
   

Import FE project

1. In the fe/ directory of the development environment, execute the following command to generate the Eclipse project file:

   cd /path/to/doris/fe/ && mvn -npr eclipse:eclipse -Dskip.plugin=true

   After the execution is completed, the .project and .classpath files will be generated in the fe/ directory.

2. Import FE project

   • Open Eclipse，choose File -> Import.
   • Choose General -> Existing Projects into Workspace.
   • Select root directory and choose fe/ directory，click Finish to finish.
   • Right click the project, and choose Build Path -> Configure Build Path.
   • In the Java Build Path dialog, choose the Source tab, click Add Folder, and select the java/ directory that was copied and unzipped before adding.
   • Click Apply and Close to finish.

At this point, FE project import is complete. The project directory in Eclipse is roughly as follows:

Run Unit Test

Right-click on the unit test file you want to run and select Run As -> JUnit Test. (If you want to debug, select Debug As -> JUnit Test).

If the following error occurs:

java.lang.Exception: Method xxxx should have no parameters

Then right-click the unit test file and select Run As -> Run Configurations.... (If you want to debug, select Debug As -> Debug Configurations...).

Add to the VM arguments in the Arguments tab:

-javaagent:${settings.localRepository}/org/jmockit/jmockit/1.48/jmockit-1.48.jar

Among them, ${settings.localRepository} should be replaced with the path of the maven library path, such as:

-javaagent:/Users/cmy/.m2/repository/org/jmockit/jmockit/1.48/jmockit-1.48.jar

Then just run Run/Debug.

Run FE

You can directly start an FE process in Ecplise to facilitate debugging the code.

1. Create a runtime directory

   mkdir /path/to/doris/fe/run/
   cd /path/to/doris/fe/run/
   mkdir conf/ log/ palo-meta/
   

2. Create configuration file

   Create the configuration file fe.conf in the conf/ directory created in the first step. You can directly copy conf/fe.conf in the source directory and make simple changes.

3. Find the src/main/java/org/apache/doris/PaloFe.java file in Ecplise, right-click and select Run As -> Run Configurations.... Add the following environment variables to the Environment tab:

   • DORIS_HOME: /path/to/doris/fe/run/
   • PID_DIR: /path/to/doris/fe/run/
   • LOG_DIR: /path/to/doris/fe/run/log

4. Right-click PaloFe.java and select Run As -> Java Application to start FE.

Code Update

1. Update lexical and grammar files

   If you modified fe/src/main/cup/sql_parser.cup or fe/src/main/jflex/sql_scanner.flex file. You need to execute the following commands in the fe/ directory:

   mvn de.jflex:maven-jflex-plugin:1.4.3:generate
   mvn net.sourceforge.czt.dev:cup-maven-plugin:1.6-cdh:generate
   

   Then refresh the project in Eclipse.

2. Update maven dependencies

   If you update the dependency in fe/pom.xml, you need to execute the following command in the fe/ directory:

   mvn -npr eclipse:eclipse -Dskip.plugin=true

   Then refresh the project in Eclipse. If it cannot be updated, it is recommended to delete the project and import it again according to this document.

Imports Order

In order to maintain the Imports order of Java, please perform the following operations to set the Imports Order of the project.

1. Create the file fe_doris.importorder and write the following:

   #Organize Import Order
   #Wed Jul 01 16:42:47 CST 2020
   4=javax
   3=java
   2=org
   1=com
   0=org.apache.doris
   

2. Open Eclipse Preferences, select Java -> Code Style -> Organize Imports. Click Import to import the above file.
