A collection of synthetic data generators and supporting libraries for building blueprints, smoke testing, and timing operations.
The following data generators are included so far:
- BigPetStore -- generates customers, stores, products, and transactions for a fictional chain of pet stores
- BigTop Name Generator -- generates names by sampling from U.S. Census data
- BigTop Weatherman -- weather simulator
We have the following libraries:
- BigTop Samplers -- collection of samplers, PDFs, and weight function interfaces and implementations
To simplify dependency management, Gradle's multi-project support is used. Each project
defines its dependencies in terms of other projects and a holistic settings.gradle file
is provided to make building easy. Just run the following from the bigtop-data-generators
directory:
$ gradle build
The resulting jar files will be located under build/libs directory of each project.
Jar files can be installed to a local Maven cache to simplify integration by external projects:
$ gradle install
You can then define the dependencies via Maven.
Please see READMEs in individual project directories.
