This repository contains a ready to use Apache Apex test sandbox docker image in which hadoop and apex is preinstalled and running. All one need to do is launch this docker image and start playing with apex.

This will create and start a docker container from the docker image.

docker run -it --name=apex-sandbox apacheapex/sandbox

NOTE: User "apex" is added in sudoers list and is provided with root privileges.

This will create and start a docker container and docker images while mounting local filesystem directory as a mount point inside docker container.

docker run -it --name=apex-sandbox -v /local/path/to/mount:/mount_location apacheapex/sandbox

docker start -i apex-sandbox

Following command will map yarn and hadoop ports exposed inside docker container to be mapped to ports of host machine.

docker run -it --name=apex-sandbox -p 50070:50070 -p 8088:8088 apacheapex/sandbox

After docker has started, one can point host machine's browser to localhost:50070 and localhost:8088 to see hadoop and yarn WebUI respectively.
