Schema sample execution error on Windows

Question

Hi:
I finally installed Nosql, compiled example\schema, added ddl and when running the class get the error:
D:\nosql\kv-2.0.39>java -jar lib/kvstore.jar ping -host xxx -port 5000
Pinging components of store kvstore based upon topology sequence #14
kvstore comprises 10 partitions and 1 Storage Nodes

It is Windows 8 64, community edition Nosql.
CLASSPATH=D:\nosql\kv-2.0.39\lib\kvclient.jar;D:\nosql\kv-2.0.39\examples\schema\classes
Is it a setup issue or code error or something else?
Please help me get past this Oracle Nosql example error.

Answer 1

It's trying to load the .avsc files that are in the D:\nosql\kv-2.0.39\examples\schema directory (the source code directory) as resources from your classpath  Here are instructions for making sure these files are in your classpath.  I'm adding the following text to SchemaExample.java:
* <p>When running this program, the Java classpath must include the
* kvclient.jar and the example 'classes' directory. The .avsc files must also
* be found as resources in the classpath, which can be accomplished by adding
* the 'examples' directory to the classpath or by copying the .avsc files to
* the 'classes/schema' directory.</p>
Sorry for the less-than-informative error from the example, we'll improve that.

The location of the .avsc files must be in the classes/schema directory, or you must add examples to your classpath.  I had this wrong in my post.
