Icebox

Icebox is a Ruby gem and command-line utility for interacting with Infobright Community Edition (ICE), an open-source, column-oriented database based on MySQL. It is still in the very earliest stages of development, and shouldn’t be used by anyone for anything.

I follow semantic versioning. In 0.x.y, there is no stable API and anything may change at any time. Curious tinkerers who don’t mind that should still at least wait until 0.1.0, which I use to signify that others could conceivably find the project useful.

Example

# Icebox wraps around a Sequel database handle:
db = Sequel.mysql('test', socket: '/tmp/mysql-ib.sock')
box = Icebox::Icebox.new(db)

# From there, you can call handy functions:
box.create_table_as "output_table", "SELECT * FROM input_table"

(Command-line interface forthcoming.)

Contributing to Icebox

  • Wait until 0.1.0

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
