Lightsocket
A lightweight ZeroMQ socket server for the JVM (written in Jython for now)
What is Lightsocket?
Lightsocket is a lightweight ZeroMQ socket server for the JVM. I originally
wrote it to provide a way for Bulbs to plug into the JVM because I needed
to load WordNet from NTLK (which is in Python) into the Neo4j Batch Loader
(which is in Java). But it's generic enough that you can add other
resource modules to extend it to do whatever you want.
An Example resource is provided in lightsocket/resources dir, as well as a
Blueprints Neo4j resource.
Is it ready?
It works for what it was designed for, but it's not meant to be used as a
production server (at least not yet). I will continue to develop it and
use it to experiment with ZeroMQ and binary serialization/RPC protocols.
It's written in Jython so it's easy to extend, but Jython isn't as fast as
the normal C Python and it isn't the most performant of the JVM languages.
We could obviously make it faster by rewriting it in Java or Scala.
What do I need?
If you're just using the base server, you need to install these packages (I plan
on automating this real soon now):
* ZeroMQ (http://www.zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software),
requires uuid-devel, glibc-devel, libuuid-devel
add /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf for pyzmq
See http://www.zeromq.org/docs:source-git
* jzmq, (for detailed install instructions, see
http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2011-October/013762.html). The Java
ZeroMQ binding (As jzmq is both, Java and C++ Code, you might have to use two
build tools):
$ git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq.git
$ cd jzmq
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure.sh
$ ./make
$ sudo ./make install
$ mvn clean install
* Build using make:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure.sh
$ ./make
$ sudo ./make install
If you don't install the C++ libs in a regular system lib path,
you will have to introduce them to Java / Jython via
$ java -Djava.library.path=/path/to/lib -classpath /path/to/zeromq/jar/
* Jython >=2.5.1 (http://www.jython.org/downloads.html)
* Jackson JSON (http://jackson.codehaus.org/)
* Google Gson (http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/)
If you want to load WordNet into through Blueprints into Neo4j, you will also need:
* Bulbs (http://bulbflow.com)
* Blueprints (https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints)
* Rexster (https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki)
Where are the docs?
These are the docs at the moment, and resources/example.py is an annotated for you.
You will need to edit startup.sh and init.py, which are located in the root dir.
Soon I will put up real docs and more examples at http://lightsocket.bulbflow.com .
How do I test it out?
After you install the libs above, open two terminals and cd to Lightsocket's root
dir -- on terminal for the client, one for the server.
Install the ZeroMQ Python client (see the comments in client_example.py for details):
$ easy_instal pyzmq
Start the Lightsocket server:
$ ./startup.sh
You should see something like this:
Starting Lightsocket...
Ready to receive requests...
Now run the client test:
$ python client_example.py
You should see something like this:
Connecting to Lightsocket...

To get better performance, you could run multiple clients or use a C or C++ client.
Where can I get help?
The Gremlin User group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gremlin-users)
of email me at james@jamesthornton.com.
Please feel free to fork it and send me pulls if you hack on it, and it needs a maven
install script so it would be cool if someone set that up.
