# Topcoder - Elastic Feeder service

Prerequisites

• Java 8 with Maven 3
• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git

Environment Setup

Clone the repository using the below command.

git clone https://github.com/topcoder-platform/tc-elasticsearch-feeder-service.git

Dependent Services

The elastic search feeder service depends upon services defined in https://github.com/appirio-tech/tc-common-tutorials/tree/master/docker/direct-app.

Notes, You need to add the following entry to hosts file:

<docker-box-ip> cockpit.cloud.topcoder.com

Where <docker-box-ip> is the ip address of your docker box. It's 192.168.99.100 for my Windows and Mac docker box, and it should be 127.0.0.1 for linux docker box.

• If you just need to start the dependent services, you can run

docker-compose up -d tc-cache tc-informix elasticsearch

• If you want to use direct app to create challenges for local testing, you can run

docker-compose up -d tc-direct elasticsearch 

Please verify the services are properly running like

  docker ps

the related containers should be in running status.

Build and Run the service

Build And Package:

mvn clean compile package

Move to the 'local' then start the service using the following command. Make sure that DOCKER_IP environment variable is set to the docker box ip.

./run.sh

Verification

If the maven build process was successful.

Create an new challenge using the direct-app. Then you can use the Postman collections elasticFeederVerification.postman_collection.json which is docs/ directory to test with the APIs. Please make sure to update the challenge ids and service URL and elastic cluster IP in the postman collection.
