CrNiCKL (pronounced "chronicle") is a database for time series written in Java and running on top of SQL and NoSQL systems. The base system cannot run by itself, it requires a driver. Currently, drivers are available for JDBC and MongoDB.
Distribution
The distribution consists of three archives
crnickl-x.y.z.jar
crnickl-x.y.z-javadoc.jar
crnickl-x.y.z-sources.jar
with compiled classes, HTML documentation, and sources. The version number x.y.z follows the maven convention. The distribution also includes .asc files with detached cryptographic signatures.
For Maven users
The software is available from the Maven central repository. To use version x.y.z, insert the following dependency into your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.agent</groupId>
<artifactId>crnickl</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Building the software
The recommended way is to use git for accessing the source and maven for building. The procedure is easy, as maven takes care of locating and downloading dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/jpvetterli/crnickl.git
$ cd crnickl
$ mvn install
This builds and installs the distribution JARs in your local maven repository. They can also be found in the target directory.
When building the software by other means, the following dependency must be addressed:
t2-x.y.z.jar(see Time2 Library)
Replace x.y.z with the actual version number which can be found in the POM
file included in the binary JAR:
/META-INF/maven/ch.agent/crnickl/pom.xml
Most often CrNiCKL is pulled as a transitive dependency by the actual CrNiCKL database driver chosen for an application. Drivers are available from GitHub and Maven.
Browsing the source code
The source is available on GitHub.
