What can I do with Ophidia?

Ophidia provides several operators to process, manage and explore data as well as operators to administer the instance, share user session and manage the file system. Here you can find the full list of operators.

These commands can be executed in different fashions:

  • single operation
  • massive operation. See massive section for more details.
  • workflow of operators. See workflow section for more details.

Additionally, more than 70 primitives are available to perform array-based computation.

Note

In case of dynamic cluster mode you should create your own partition by submitting the OPH_CLUSTER operator before any other data operator, like OPH_AGGREGATE, OPH_REDUCE. An example of command to create a partition is:

oph_cluster action=deploy;hostpartition=myPartition;nhost=4;

You can get more information about the usage of the clusters in the cluster management section.
